I call this meeting to order.
The first thing on the committee business is that we want to be able to pass our steering committee report. The steering committee met this morning. We brought forward a schedule for some of the upcoming meetings and included a budget. I would ask you to take a look at your steering committee report: we include the list of witnesses, we study the draft report on Afghanistan for the next two meetings, we then have the witnesses for China, and we pass the budget.
Do we agree?
(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
We're going to continue with committee business.
Mr. Dewar.
