Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to the third meeting of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the recall of vehicles manufactured by the Toyota Motor Corporation.
Joining us today, from Toyota Canada we have Mr. Tomihara, president and chief executive officer, and Stephen Beatty, managing director. From Toyota Motor North America we have Yoshi Inaba, president and chief operating officer. From Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada we have Ray Tanguay, president.
We welcome you to our committee and thank you for your attendance here.
For the advice of the committee members, we have a collective committee of industry and transport. I understand there will be some need for translation, so I ask the committee for their indulgence. I will judge the time accordingly so that people aren't necessarily caught halfway through a translation getting an answer and waiting for a response.
Mr. Volpe, do you have an opening comment?
