Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to meeting number 28 of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the impact of the Government of Canada's deadline of March 31, 2011, for the completion of projects under the infrastructure stimulus fund and the recreational infrastructure Canada program.
Joining us today from the Association of Manitoba Municipalities are Mr. Doug Dobrowolski, president, and Mr. Joe Masi, executive director.
Welcome to the committee, gentlemen. I'm sure you've been given the process that we go through. I know you have a presentation. I'll ask you to do that and then we'll go to the members for questions.
Please begin.
