Thank you, Mr. Martin.
I'll take that under advisement. We'll see how the meeting goes today. That might be an idea if we don't get very far. Perhaps the minister would like to attend and observe himself. Of course, there's nothing preventing him from doing that now.
In any event, let's not waste a lot of time. We have the deputy minister here. He has other things to do.
Mr. Leonard J. Edwards, deputy minister, good morning, sir. Do you have an opening statement?
