I call this meeting back to order.
I would like to welcome the Honourable Perrin Beatty for our second panel this evening.
Hon. Beatty, thank you for being here. I understand you have a detailed statement.
With the indulgence of this committee, and given that it's an hour and a half session, I'm wondering if we would allow you more time than your regular five minutes for the opening remarks, notwithstanding you're the only guest.
We will allow that extension for up to 10 minutes. You will likely have subsequent time in your rounds of questioning to fill out whatever comments you feel may have been restricted in your 10 minutes of opening remarks.
With that being said, we will now provide you the floor.
