Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome.
We're a little late, because everybody had to make the cold walk from the House of Commons down to here. Everybody is getting warmed up with their coffee, and we're good to go.
This is the second meeting on our study of the Canadian steel industry’s ability to compete internationally. Our committee has been busy with the TPP study. Also, our committee is going to be going to the United States in the next few months, but steel is very important and we're going to have a couple more meetings on steel over the next few weeks.
Without further ado, we have four speakers here today to speak about the steel industry. We have Mr. Miller from Amalgamated Trading Ltd. We have Mr. Galimberti from the Canadian Steel Producers Association. We have Mr. Lee from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. From the United Steelworkers, we have Mr. Neumann and Mr. Jamal.
Welcome, folks. You have five minutes or less for each group, and then we'll have a dialogue with the MPs.
I'll start off with Mr. Miller. If you're good to go, sir, you have the floor.
