Thank you, Ms. Enayeh, Ms. Boutiyeb and Mr. Ste‑Marie.
MP Ste-Marie is very gracious and kind, as you all can see, in his comments about our committee. You may hear some political, ideological or policy differences among us, but we are a great team and we don't leave anybody behind. We have to make sure everybody is together.
This work is very important. It's very important for Canadians, and it's very important to help inform our government on the budget that's upcoming. Of course, you're very important. The most important are the witnesses.
Now MP Julian will have his opportunity to question the witnesses in his time.
