I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. It is meeting number 29.
The orders of the day are pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), main estimates for 2012-13. They include votes 55 and 60 under Foreign Affairs and International Trade and votes 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, and 60 under Transport. They were referred to the committee on Tuesday, February 28, 2012.
Joining us today are members of the Department of Transport. We will introduce them as we move through.
Right now I will introduce Minister Denis Lebel, the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. We welcome you to the committee.
It's not your first time, as we know. You obviously understand the rules; you can present, and then we will go to committee members for questions.
Thank you for attending.
