I would like to start off by welcoming our guests. Many of us have seen these guests before and are aware of who they are. I want to particularly welcome them.
Just for the members' interest, the way I would like to operate today is to end our cross-examination of the witnesses at 4:45. That would leave us from 4:45 until 5:30 to discuss the motion at hand, the intention being to vote by 5:30 so that members can go on to the Bill C-30 committee.
If I don't hear any objections, those will be the timelines I will follow. I'll ask you to be very precise in your questioning, and let's try to finish by 4:45 for our witnesses.
For our witnesses, let's begin. Mr. Toner, do you have a statement you wish to make?
