Thank you very much.
At this time, we have with us here today, between 8 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., representatives from the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness. We have Mr. Rob Stewart, deputy minister. We have Dominic Rochon, senior assistant deputy minister, national security and cybersecurity branch; and we have Talal Dakalbab, assistant deputy minister, crime prevention branch.
You will be given five minutes for opening remarks.
I believe, Mr. Stewart, you'll be providing those opening remarks.
I'll just tell you now that when we get into our rounds of questioning, as you may have heard in previous rounds, it is within the purview of the committee members to direct and determine their time. If they ask you to move on to the next question, it's certainly nothing personal. You may hear me interject and say thank you to either wrap up the round or to move you on to the next topic.
With that being said, Mr. Stewart, the floor is yours for five minutes.
