Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am Nick Leswick, associate deputy minister at the Department of Finance. I am flanked by other officials from the Department of Finance, in our financial sector policy area and tax policy and social policy areas. We have a number of officials on the line to help navigate the lines of questioning throughout the next hour with officials only, and then the minister will appear for the second hour.
I am here to help quarterback the administration of the meeting. I have no other substantive comments.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
