Let's bring this meeting to order.
First of all, welcome everybody. We have a really big slate of witnesses here today. I'm sorry for the inconvenience and the delay. We had an issue up at the House that we had to deal with—when the bell rings, we have to vote—and we had to do some business.
We're going to have a very productive session here over the next hour. As many of you know, we're doing a study on steel. We've had some witnesses in already, in our last meeting.
My understanding is that the three chambers of commerce are going to speak together for five minutes, and then we're going to go to Stelco, Gerdau Long Steel North America, and then to Evraz and Essar Steel Algoma.
If you could each keep to around five minutes or shorter, it would be good. That way we can get some good dialogue back and forth with the members.
I have to excuse myself in a few minutes as I have another meeting, but Randy Hoback will take the chair. You're going to be in good hands.
Without further ado, we're going to start out with the chambers of commerce. We have three of them. We have the Hamilton, the Sault Ste. Marie, and the Windsor-Essex chambers of commerce.
