I call this meeting to order.
We're continuing in meeting 43 with our briefing session with CFIA, to talk about the report we were talking about in the previous meeting.
We welcome to the table--no strangers here--Dr. Brian Evans, executive vice-president; Mr. Gordon R. White, vice-president, finance, administration and information technology; and Paul Mayers, acting vice-president, programs.
Dr. Evans, if you would bring forward your opening comments I'd appreciate that very much.
