Welcome, Minister. I'm pleased to see you again. That is the biggest posse I've ever seen with anybody, but we're glad to have them here because I'm sure they'll supply good information if we need it.
You will recall, sir, that we went back and forth in the House a bit during the time that you started talking about the proposals for changing OAS. At the time, we were trying to draw out from you the costing figures that you were working from. It caused us some grave concerns at the time we were having that kind of a struggle. Recently the Auditor General has talked about the fact that you were in possession of those, and your department had them for a considerable bit of time before.
I'm going to ask you if you'll give us a commitment today that going forward, for the benefit of the parliamentarians in this committee, we'll be able to access those types of figures as we need them to do our due diligence.
