We are resuming now. We're going to be able to go until 5:30 today, so I'm again going to cut right to the meat of this.
I want to thank our witnesses that we have with us. We have from the Alberta Federation of Labour, Mr. Gil McGowan, the president of the AFL. He's joining us by video conference from Edmonton, Alberta. Thank you, sir, for being here.
Also with us we have Richard Sendall, the chairperson and senior vice-president of MEG Energy Corp., and Patricia Nelson, the vice-chair of In Situ Oil Sands Alliance. It's nice to see you both again and thank you for joining us here today.
I'm going to turn the floor over to, collectively, the two of you at the end of the table, and individually, you, sir, for a presentation of up to 10 minutes.
Why don't we start with you, Mr. McGowan.
