Can we now move to listen to the people who are here, please!
We'll ask our witnesses to come forward.
Thank you very much.
May I remind you that we now have before us two members of the Privy Council Office, Mr. Marc O'Sullivan and Mr. Paul Shuttle, to discuss order in council appointments, one of the issues referred to in a motion passed by this committee.
Welcome to both of you. I'm sure it's been very interesting for you to sit in the background and listen to this long debate, but we do have time for you to give us a statement if you wish, and then we will open it up to questions and comments.
Mr. O'Sullivan.
