I see the time is 3:30. We have enough members and we have our witnesses with us, so I'll call the meeting to order.
We want to first thank our witnesses for coming.
Our meeting is pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the adoption of the motion on February 11, 2008, on the study of the annual report and business plan of the Business Development Bank of Canada.
We want to thank our two witnesses for coming. They are from the Business Development Bank of Canada. We have John MacNaughton and Jean-René Halde. It is good to have you here with us.
We will open the floor up to you, and then we'll intervene on the question and answer portion of the meeting. The floor is yours.
