Welcome back, colleagues. It's great to see everybody after you've had two weeks in your ridings, in your constituencies. I know you all were very busy and eager to get back to Ottawa to work on our file here, which is, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), a study on small and medium-sized enterprises.
We have witnesses from the Conference Board of Canada; Deebee's SpecialTea Foods Ltd.; Lingo Media Corporation; and by video conference, Archipelago Marine Research Ltd.
I think I'll go in the order that we have on the document. I'd just remind the witnesses that they have eight minutes each.
Anyway, we'll start off with the Conference Board of Canada.
Mr. Hodgson, you have eight minutes.
