Okay.
Now I will call our officials to the table, please.
I'd like to welcome the officials who have come before us. It is certainly an opportunity for members to ask questions. We are of course largely talking about the expenditures and the spending on the climate change plan. I would ask members to try to keep within a certain range of questioning as much as possible.
I believe you have a brief statement that you'd like to make, just to open. We'd like to hear that now, please.
