All right, let's lower the gavel. Welcome to the session for today.
Welcome, Minister.
I want to start this by describing to everyone who is watching or listening to us publicly that pursuant to Standing Order 81(4) and the order of reference of Wednesday, September 30, 2020, the committee will now consider the main estimates for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. Pursuant to Standing Order 81(5) and the order of reference of Thursday, October 22, 2020, the committee will now also consider the supplementary estimates (B) for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.
Now I call upon the minister for testimony.
Mr. Minister, we normally give around five to 10 minutes. I understand that you prepared some remarks.
Please proceed.
