Thank you, Dr. Brattey. We really appreciate this. Of course, we'll be hearing more as we go on.
Just for the sake of our panel and those not familiar with how the committee works, we have four questions in the first round and five questions in the second round, at seven and five minutes respectively. At the end of the second round, we'll take a look at the clock. We'll see what kind of flexibility we have, and I'll look to the committee for some direction as to how we proceed from there. Again, I remind you that at 5:15 we have to get into some committee business. We'll probably adjourn around 5:10 for the sake of the break.
Dr. Brattey, thanks again, and thanks to our panel.
We're going to start with the government.
Mr. McDonald, the mover of this motion, you have the first seven minutes.
