Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to get our meeting under way.
We have some esteemed guests with us today: Audrey O'Brien, the Clerk of the House; Mr. Kevin Vickers, the Sergeant-at-Arms; and Mr. David Monaghan, the curator.
Of course I have fond memories of the first time I was sworn in, and Audrey O'Brien was the one responsible for that, so I will have eternal precious memories regarding that issue.
I should mention that the Clerk of the House, Madam O'Brien, has said she will have an opening statement and leave the rest of the discussion with Mr. Monaghan and Mr. Vickers. I think that would be adequate, and I assume that would be okay with the rest of the committee.
If that's the case, and you need to get on to other responsibilities, we'll let you open, Madam O'Brien.
