Sure.
I have no formal opening statement. Again, I apologize for running behind. I went to the wrong entrance. If you do need some extra time for me at the end, I'm happy to stay a little longer to make that up to you.
I am no expert on conflict of interest or the state of federal law on that. I have no academic or particular expertise in that area. I have been in government at the federal and the provincial level. I ran a democratic reform commission in New Brunswick as the deputy minister. I was Clerk of the Executive Council and Cabinet Secretary in Manitoba. I've been a chief of staff in both the Prime Minister's Office and the Minister of Finance's office. I have seen things of governance, if you will, from various perspectives. If there is some general background or knowledge I can help you with, I'm happy to do it. I believe very strongly in the importance of our democratic institutions and, frankly, very much in the work you do. I feel an obligation to try to assist you in any particular way that I can.
I'll leave it at that, and I'm happy to take any questions you might have.
Hello, Andy.
Thank you.
