We have an hour with the minister.
We do appreciate your making the extreme effort to be with us today. I understand that our committee is unfortunately falling at a time when you have other cabinet duties. We do appreciate your taking time out of your hectic schedule to join us.
In light of only having an hour with the minister, if you guys are agreeable, we'll do five-minute rounds so that as many people as possible can get in.
Minister, please begin with your opening comments.
