Good morning, everybody. Welcome to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
This is our first field trip for the committee.
We have a couple of things to clear up, committee, before we move on to our witnesses. We made an agreement before we left that we had a witness list, but it wasn't an exhaustive witness list. We decided that if somebody wanted to be a witness, we would invite them to speak to us, but we'd do it with unanimous consent, so I'll be seeking that in just a few moments.
What we're going to do is add another hour, given that we now have three people who want to appear in front of us who we didn't have before. On the original schedule, we were scheduled to finish at 4:15. We're now going to finish at five o'clock, and we will have three witnesses.
On the three witnesses in question, the three of them are appearing as individuals. I'm going to seek unanimous consent on each of them. The first one we have is former member of Parliament and former member of this committee, Mr. Ryan Cleary. Can I receive unanimous consent?
