Good morning, everybody.
We'll get started here.
Welcome to the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
We're very pleased this morning to have here His Excellency Justin Hugh Brown, High Commissioner for Australia to Canada.
Thank you for joining us here today, Your Excellency.
He'll be appearing from 8:45 to 9:30. Then, at 9:30 to 10:30, we have other witnesses, and from 10:30 to 10:45, we have committee business.
As we know, Australia celebrated its centenary in 2001, so that is a bit of useful experience that we hopefully can get from our friends from Australia.
We welcome you here today, Your Excellency. The way this committee usually works is that if you have some opening remarks, you can deliver those, and then we'll go into some questions.
Thank you. The floor is yours.
