We can reconvene.
We have, from the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, Yves Giroux. This is his first time before this particular committee. Welcome, Yves.
With you, we have the senior director, economic and fiscal analysis, Mr. Matier, and Mr. Shaw, director, fiscal analysis.
Just to explain, bells will ring at a not too distant time and members will have to leave to vote. There will be a 30-minute bell. Hopefully, if we get permission from all parties, we will stay here until about eight minutes before the vote. Then we will come back following the vote and finish our questioning for a period of time.
I know that at seven o'clock tonight, there are also briefings on the budget implementation act, and there's a vote on the NATO Parliamentary Association that people will want to vote on, at 6:30, so we can rotate in and out of that. It's a little complicated tonight.
Welcome, Mr. Giroux. The floor is yours.
