Media, could you leave the room, please? Thank you.
Before us today we have witnesses from the Privy Council: Mr. Wayne Wouters, Clerk of the Privy Council and secretary to the cabinet; and Mr. Simon Kennedy, deputy secretary to the cabinet, plans and consultation. From the Treasury Board Secretariat, we have with us Madam d'Auray, secretary of the Treasury Board of Canada, and Philip A. Hurcomb, assistant secretary.

We will start with you, Mr. Wouters.
