Let us start.
Good morning to the panellists. We're here in the second part of the first panel here in Calgary.
I'm going to allow you five-minute time intervals to present your briefs or memoirs, to make your opening statements. Then the members will be asking questions.
As you can see, there are not too many members around the table. That's because we had some problems getting in yesterday. Some of the members got snowed in or snowed out, whichever expression you want to use. We also had some other problems: there's a budget bill going on, and the same committee is responsible for that budget bill. There are problems in planning by the Conservatives, but we're not going to get partisan.
In case any of you want to swear, you cannot swear, but to comfort with respect to your testimony, everything you say will be recorded. All your testimony is going to be on record for all the members to look up and review; everything is on record.
We have somebody filming. To whoever is going to be the first presenter—I think it's going to be Mr. Andrew—he'll be filming you for the first minute. Don't feel the pressure; it's just a camera.
Let's get started. From the Coalition of Canadian Energy Trusts, we have Mr. Andrew.
Go ahead, for five minutes.
