I'd like to thank the officials from the Privy Council Office for agreeing to come before us. Unfortunately, Mr. Lynch was not able to be with us, but he did send representatives, who I'm sure will be giving us some very good answers. I want to remind you again that these people are non-political. They do not, in the end, make the political decisions; they implement them. I hope we keep that in mind in our questions.
I will start and will ask our invited guests to make a short overall statement about what PCO is and how it works, to help us all. Thank you.
If you'd like to introduce the people around you, that would be good.
