That was exactly my point, Mr. Allen. Thank you. We have to trust that things that are discussed in camera stay in camera.
Let's get to the business we're here to discuss today.
As witnesses today we have, first of all, from Unifor, Lana Payne, Atlantic director. Welcome.
We have by video conference from Halifax, Nova Scotia, from the Maritimes Energy Association, Barbara Pike, chief executive officer. Welcome to you.
As an individual, we have Susan Dodd, assistant professor of humanities and an author from University of King's College, Nova Scotia. Welcome to you.
Thank you all for being available today. There was a fourth witness who was supposed to be with us by video conference today who is ill and couldn't be here. I certainly wish them a speedy recovery.
We will go with presentations of up to seven minutes in the order that witnesses are listed on the agenda, starting with Lana Payne, Atlantic director of Unifor.
Go ahead, please, with your presentation.
