Thank you.
The plan for Bill C-36 is as follows. We had said, as committee members, that when legislation came up we would take the legislation first and foremost and get it done. What we're looking at are witnesses from the department today. On Thursday the minister will join us for an hour and then we'll have witnesses on Thursday. And the following Tuesday we have additional witnesses and then we'll do a clause-by-clause. And we're hoping a week today to get the clause-by-clause completed, basically because there's been a lot of study on Bill C-36 and there are few amendments, so we as a committee have decided this is the way we want to proceed.
We will begin now with a presentation from Athana Mentzelopoulos. How do you pronounce it?
