Thank you for appearing before us on behalf of the minister, Mr. Fraser.
I should explain to the committee, Sean had to come in fairly late in the game. The minister was available tonight at seven, I believe it was, but because more committees are functioning now, and Parliament can only do two at a time, it became impossible for him to take that time slot. We did look at tomorrow for Minister Fortier, but that was impossible as well because we would have had to cancel seven witnesses and move that all around.
Thank you very much, Mr. Fraser, for filling in.
With that, we will go to questions to officials. I expect you're staying as well, Sean.
The questioning rounds will go to five-minute rounds. The first one up will be Mr. Morantz, then Ms. Koutrakis, then Mr. Brunelle-Duceppe and Mr. Julian.
Marty Morantz, you're on.
