If I could bring us to order, please, we do have a very tight schedule and lots to cover.
I would like to start off by just reminding members that the clerk and I worked on a list of the subjects you've put forward to us, and on Wednesday we'll take a look at that in terms of timelines and future business and what we can do from now until June. That's just a heads up for Wednesday; that's what we'll be doing.
I would also like to let you know that we have three witnesses for the first hour and five witnesses in the second hour, so we're going to have to keep it fairly tight. I do want to also mention that we will have some students from the University of Ottawa who will be here in the audience in the second hour. They have requested that if anyone can stay after we adjourn the meeting, they would like to ask us a few questions. I've agreed to stay. Any of you who do have the time to stay would be appreciated.
I would like to begin by welcoming Vicki Pollard, who has come here from Brussels--and has complimented our weather. I think that's probably good. I'd like to welcome you.
Of course, we have two other guests who are here via teleconference, and I welcome them as well.
I'll ask the witnesses to keep their testimony to somewhere around five minutes. I have a little grey box, so I know exactly how long you're taking. We'll do the cut-off if you go too long. That gives our members the maximum time to ask questions.
We'll begin with you, Ms. Pollard. Welcome from the Canadian Parliament.
