Mr. Friesen, the way we've agreed to do things here is that we will grant you up to ten minutes to make your opening comments. I encourage you to do so in a respectful cadence so that our interpreters have an opportunity to relay the information in both official languages to us. At that point in time I will open up the floor to an agreed upon order of questions from the committee members and we will proceed for the remainder of this particular committee meeting. So if you're ready, sir, the floor is yours for ten minutes.
On November 1st, 2011. See this statement in context.
