Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As you mentioned already, I am here with a few colleagues to answer any questions related to the government response to the recommendations in the committee's seventh report.
As you know, the report contains 16 recommendations. Of the 16 recommendations, some are directed to standing committees of the House of Commons. Others are directed at TBS and finance. Between the two departments, the 16 recommendations that apply to us are recommendations 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 16. The balance of the recommendations apply to standing committees.
We're happy to offer commentary, but the actual focus of the government response is on the recommendations directed at either TBS or finance. Between the two departments, we will do our best to respond to your questions. I'll leave it at that, and we'll get straight to the questions.
Thank you.
