The Chair Conservative Merv Tweed

Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities, meeting number 45. Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, November 7, 2006, we are studying Bill C-6, an act to amend the Aeronautics Act and to make consequential amendments to other acts.

Joining us today we have Mr. Cannon, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. Also joining us we have members of the department: Mr. Marc Grégoire, Mr. Merlin Preuss, and Mr. Franz Reinhardt.

I know the minister has an opening comment, and I would ask him to make it. Then we'll move on to committee questions.

Please proceed.
