Order!
I'm with you 100%.
Now, thank you kindly, colleagues. I'm glad we've got that straightened away.
Now, as is our practice, I want to simply reaffirm this to our witnesses. You have been sworn in. You are appearing before a committee of Parliament. You are protected by parliamentary privilege, which means that nothing that's said here can be held against you in any other forum. We operate on the presumption of honesty, and I thank you all for voluntarily appearing before us today.
Our practice has been to move right to questions, which we will do, and then at the end of the process I will offer to you, if you wish, an opportunity to make a brief closing statement. Do you have any questions? Is that understood? Thank you.
We'll move right to questions now.
Mrs. Redman, please.
