CHAIRPERSON
Good afternoon.  I need to apologise for the late start but we had a lot of technical issues to deal with in respect of this application.  We haven't dealt with it all but we thought it necessary to continue in matters that we are able to do so.
     For the purposes of the record I'm going to ask all my colleagues here and all the representatives to announce their names like I'm going to do so that when the record is typed the typists would know who was talking.
