Welcome, everybody, to meeting 27 of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.
Today we were supposed to have four witnesses, but two cancelled at the last minute. We have the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association, Mark Nantais, president; and the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, Flavio Volpe, president.
We are going to get right into it. Gentlemen, you have 10 minutes each to give us your state of the union, and then we will go to questions.
Mr. Nantais, the floor is yours.
