Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to our meeting here in One Wellington. It's been a long time since I've been in this building. I trust everyone found their way here okay. We have a one-off meeting today.
I would like to welcome to the committee the Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, our new Minister of National Revenue.
Of course, Madam Minister, you're here to discuss with us business arising out of a motion passed by the committee just before the Easter break to discuss the transfer of files from your department to the United States according to the tax agreements and so on that we've signed as countries. I very much look forward to this discussion.
The way we'll proceed, Madam Minister, is that we'll have opening comments from you. We have one hour with you, I believe, as we agreed to, and then we'll hear from the Privacy Commissioner afterwards.
We'll have time, Madam Minister, for about 10 minutes of opening remarks, if that's okay. Feel free to introduce those who are assisting you at the table today. After your remarks, we'll proceed to as many questions as we possibly can.
We thank you for making yourself available, Madam Minister. The floor is yours.
