I'd like to bring meeting 19 to order. This is the Special Committee on the Canadian Mission in Afghanistan and we're continuing our study of the Canadian mission in Afghanistan.
Before us today we have witnesses from the Allen Vanguard Corporation and the IPA Group. From the Allen Vanguard Corporation we have David Luxton, the president and chief executive officer. Welcome, sir. From the IPA Group, we have John Inns, principal, and Geoff Poapst, also principal.
We welcome you, gentlemen. I presume you will have an opening statement that you're willing to share with us. Normally we allow about ten minutes for that, so you may each present.
Whenever you're ready, you may begin.
