Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, everyone.
I have questions for Mrs. Thomas. If she's not at the table, I'll give some time for her to come in.
Thank you for all of your hard work on the budget. It takes a lot of effort to do that.
This is my first opportunity to mark the passing of Gordon Lightfoot, who was a resident.... He was born and raised in Orillia, Ontario. He was a Canadian music legend. He is to Canadian music what the Group of Seven is to art. I'm sure we'll do tributes to him in the House later today.
Thank you, Mrs. Thomas, for being here. I have some questions about operating costs and people.
I'm curious how many individuals will be hired as a result of the measures in the first budget bill.
