I'm going to call this meeting back to order.
We have before us Mr. Ian Brodie, the chief of staff to the Prime Minister.
We thank you, Mr. Brodie, for making the time to come before us. I know you have a very busy schedule and were unable to come at an earlier time. But the vote made your timing perfect, so thank you.
You know how it works. We give you a chance to have your say and then we question you.
Mr. Brodie.
