I call this meeting to order. Welcome everyone to meeting No. 88 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, and I offer my greetings to our colleagues who are joining us virtually.
Pursuant to the motion adopted on September 26, today we welcome the Parliamentary Budget Officer to address the report, “Break-even Analysis of Production Subsidies for Stellantis-LGES and Volkswagen”.
I'd like to welcome Mr. Giroux, Parliamentary Budget Officer, who is accompanied today by Chris Matier, director general of economic and fiscal analysis, and Jill Giswold, senior analyst. We're sorry we had to cancel Tuesday's meeting. It was the circumstances of parliamentary life that forced us to, but we're delighted to be reunited with our guests today.
Before we go to the witnesses, because I hear the bells ringing, I need unanimous consent from the committee to continue the meeting until five minutes before the vote, if that's okay with everyone. I thought the bells were supposed to ring for 30 minutes, but I've checked, and it's only 15 minutes.
Do I have unanimous consent from committee members to continue the meeting at least until the end of Mr. Giroux's opening remarks?
