Good afternoon to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. We're studying Bill C-11, An Act to amend the Canada Transportation Act and the Railway Safety Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts.
Joining us today, we have Mr. Phil Benson from Teamsters Canada. Representing Transport 2000 Canada, we have Mr. Harry Gow, the founding president. Offering support is the current president, Mr. David Jeanes.
Welcome. I'm sure you've probably had some experience appearing before committees before. As indicated, you have a seven-minute timeframe for presentations, and then there will be questions from the committee.
Mr. Gow, if you'd like to start, please go ahead.
