Okay, we'll get started.
Welcome to the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
Today we are studying, pursuant to Standing Order 81(5), the supplementary estimates (B) 2012-13.

Welcome to all of you.
I understand, Minister, that you have some opening remarks before we go to questions and answers, and according to the schedule I have, you and your departmental staff will be here for an hour, until 4:30 p.m.
With that, the floor is yours.
