I will reconvene the meeting.
I would like to welcome our second panel of witnesses. In person, from the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association, we have Brian Kingston, president and chief executive officer; and by video conference, we have the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association, Flavio Volpe, president.
Up to five minutes will be given for opening remarks, after which we will proceed with rounds of questions.
Welcome to all.
I now invite Mr. Kingston, please, to make an opening statement.
