Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm happy to give a short introduction.
The Canada Development Investment Corporation consists of a small group of people who are responsible to the Minister of Finance for looking after assets that the government gets and probably wants to resell. There are examples in the backgrounder.
When the governments bailed out Chrysler and General Motors, the shares in General Motors and Chrysler were given to us to look after and to sell. More recently, when the government purchased the Trans Mountain Corporation, the was given to us because the government does not intend to keep the Trans Mountain pipeline forever and will, presumably, sell it in the near future. More recently, we have, at the request of the government, incorporated the Canada Enterprise Emergency Funding Corporation, which is to carry out the LEEFF program, the large employer emergency financing facility program.
Thank you for inviting me to the committee. I'd be happy to field any questions on that.
