I call this meeting to order. This is the 61st meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we're studying the progress report on monitoring and oversight of the 2009 budget.
We're very pleased to have with us this morning, from the Library of Parliament, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, Mr. Kevin Page. We have an hour and a half with Mr. Page this morning.
Mr. Page, I will ask you to introduce your colleagues and to give an opening statement. Then we'll have questions from all members. Welcome back to the committee. We look forward to your remarks.
