I call this meeting to order. This is meeting 119 of the Standing Committee on Finance. Orders of the day, pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), we are dealing with the main estimates 2013-14, votes 1, 5, 10, L15, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 under Finance, referred to the committee on Monday, February 25, 2013.
Colleagues, we have officials here from the Department of Finance. We want to welcome you back to the committee to discuss main estimates.
We have Sherry Harrison, assistant deputy minister, corporate services branch. My understanding, Ms. Harrison, is that you'll be doing the opening statement for the officials, so if you could present the opening statement, and if you could introduce your colleagues at the table, then we'll have questions from the members for the officials.
