Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure, and Communities, meeting number 38, pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, November 7, 2006, Bill C-6, an act to amend the Aeronautics Act and to make consequential amendments to other acts.
Joining us today from the Canadian Airports Council are Mr. Jim Facette and Mr. Fred Jones; from the Air Transport Association of Canada, Mr. Sam Barone and Mr. Les T. Aalders; from the Canadian Business Aviation Association, Rich Gage; and from Teamsters Canada, Mr. Phil Benson. Welcome.
I'm sure it was given to you as information by the clerk that you can pick the order in which you want to start, but you have seven minutes. Once that's complete, we'll go to a series of questioning.
Jim, do you want to start? Thank you.
