Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mike, and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. For interpretation for those on Zoom, you have the choice at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French.

For members in the room, if you wish to speak, please raise your hand. For members on Zoom, please used the \u201craise hand\u201d function. The clerk and I will manage the speaking order as best we can, and we appreciate your patience and understanding in this regard.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7819895\" data-originallang=\"en\">Also, members and witnesses, if you are speaking, just make sure the red light is on so that all of what you have to say is captured by the interpreters and by the House.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7819896\" data-originallang=\"en\">Let me just begin by thanking our witnesses. I know you didn't have a lot of time before you were contacted to appear before our committee on the BIA, but we do appreciate that you were able to graciously be here for us to provide your testimony. I'll say that in advance on behalf of all the committee members and the clerk, the analysts, the staff and everybody who is here. We really do appreciate it. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7819897\" data-originallang=\"en\">With us today from Air Passenger Rights, we have Dr. G\u00e1bor Luk\u00e1cs, who is the president of the organization.

We're still having some technical issues with the sound, and we're trying to get that rectified. Hopefully when others have given their opening remarks, we'll be ready for Mr. Kevin Lee to join us. We're also having some technical difficulties with Henderson Brewing and Mr. Steve Himel. We'll also try to rectify that before our last witness speaks and allow Mr. Himel to join us for this panel and make his opening remarks.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7819899\" data-originallang=\"en\">With that, we're going to start with Dr. G\u00e1bor Luk\u00e1cs of Air Passenger Rights, please, for five minutes.</p>",
