Everyone, please come to the table.
Now we go to the open-mic period with the audience. We've done this in every city or every province we have visited and it has gone quite well. We have a good list here today, which is good to see. We have around 16 speakers. We'll keep remarks to around two minutes. I ask you to try to keep your applause very short or refrain from applauding, because you're cutting into the next person's time.
We are here to listen. We are not going to be responding to you. We're here to listen, and our clerks are taking down the notes. Part of your submissions will be in with our report, along with those of many others.
If you feel you could not convey everything you wanted to convey, we have an email address so that you can submit your comments later on. You might think of something that you didn't say. Just send it to us and it will be all part of our study.
Without further ado, we're going to start off with Cordell Cole and Tom Griffiths.
Cordell, you've got it. Go ahead, sir.
