The Chair NDP David Christopherson

Very well. Let me thank our guests.

Auditor General, sir, we always appreciate your being here. Mr. Shier, thank you.

Mr. Williamson, thank you very much. I understand that subsequent to your verbal presentation there have been copies of your opening remarks circulated to members of the committee. We will reinforce that directive to people with a follow-up email, so there's a paper trail. I do appreciate your responding as quickly as you did, sir.

With that, I will suspend the committee as we arrange to go in camera. We are going to be studying the draft report on chapter 4, regulating pharmaceutical drugs, Health Canada, from the fall 2011 report by Mr. Ferguson.
