I call the meeting to order. I want to thank you for coming today.
I'd like to ask the committee to remember that these people are public servants. They work for all of us. They are not hired to make political decisions but to implement them and maybe to suggest a different time split. I'd like everyone to keep this in mind during the deliberations.
Now, perhaps you would like to introduce yourselves and make a few opening remarks. Who would like to start?
