I'd like to bring this meeting to order. This is meeting 29 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. We are continuing our study of contraband tobacco.
I would like to welcome the witnesses we have before us today. We have, from Imperial Tobacco Canada Limited, Mr. Donald McCarty and Mr. Benjamin Kemball. We welcome you, gentlemen, and we will let you begin your testimony.
The usual practice is to have a ten-minute opening statement. We'll then give Mr. Jerry Montour, who is the chief executive officer from Grand River Enterprises, an opportunity to make a presentation. Steve Williams is not here, but Chantell Montour is here taking his place, I presume.
Sir, I will let you or Chantell do approximately a ten-minute presentation after we hear from Imperial Tobacco, if that's all right with all of you.
After that, we will open it up for questions and comments.
Without any further ado, which one of you gentlemen would like to begin?
Mr. Kemball, go ahead, sir.
