I call the meeting to order. My goodness, we're even starting a couple of minutes ahead. That's very unusual. We have a quorum.
We have before us Mr. Ross from the Department of National Defence. He is the assistant deputy minister, matériel. From the Department of Public Works and Government Services we have Liliane Saint Pierre, assistant deputy minister, acquisitions operations; and Mr. Terry Williston, director general, land, aerospace, and marine systems and major projects sector.
I think you've been before committees previously and know how it works. We'll give you a chance to make a statement, and then we'll ask questions.
Go ahead.
