I'll call this meeting to order.
I'd like to start by thanking Minister Shea for being with us here today. I appreciate your appearance, Minister. I know you have a delegation with you from the department. I'm sure you will introduce them or the deputy will introduce them at the appropriate time.
I guess, Minister, I don't have to go through the procedures. I know you're quite familiar with how our committee operates.
I'll ask if you want to proceed right into your opening statements.
