Order, please.
If committee members would please take their places, I'd like to call the meeting to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 81(5), we'll be reviewing the supplementary estimates (B) of 2009-2010, and we will be voting on those supplementary estimates after our witnesses have left.
What I am proposing, if committee members would agree, is that we question the witnesses from 3:30 to 4:20, and then from 4:20 to 4:30 we do approval of the vote numbers, if it's agreeable. If you don't want me to cut down the minister's time by 10 minutes, I'm at your disposal.
Can we see how it goes along? If we can stop at 4:20, I would like to, and then we have committee business to do.
Minister, do you have any opening remarks?
