Good morning, everyone. We're here to continue our study on resource development in northern Canada.
We have with us today two witnesses. Before I introduce those witnesses and have them give their presentations, I would just like to say that we've been having some difficulty, the clerk in particular, in getting opposition witnesses to appear. It's not for lack of trying. I would really encourage you to talk to your witnesses and make sure that those on the list are all given the head's up needed and all the encouragement possible to attend, because we've had great difficulty in that. Any help would be appreciated.
The witnesses today will both be by video conference. From the Northwest Territories Chamber of Commerce in Yellowknife, we have Hughie Graham, the president. And from the Yukon Chamber of Commerce in Whitehorse, we have Sandy Babcock, the president.
Welcome to both of you. We'll have you give your presentations in the order listed on the agenda for today. We'll start with Hughie Graham. Go ahead with your presentation for up to 10 minutes, please.
Thank you both very much for being with us today. We're looking forward to the information from your presentations and the question period.
