I call the meeting to order.
We want to thank the committee for being here. We have a special guest with us this afternoon: Mr. Mark Carney. Thank you for being here.
We want to make note that cameras will have to leave the room. The meeting is televised, so they'll be able to catch their pictures there. Would the cameras leave the room, please?
Okay, that's half of the room.
We want to welcome you sincerely to our committee. We hope this is the beginning of a long-lasting relationship with the committee and with your future job with the Bank of Canada. We look forward to the time we have here today and to being able to discuss some of what you have in mind for us.
We'll go right to that and ask you to start with your presentation.
Before we do that, we have a question from Mr. Dykstra.
