Thank you.
I want to thank our guests for coming to committee today.
Your work and the office you're setting up and will be working in is very important to me as a member of Parliament from this area. In fact, I was on the committee for Bill C-2. One of the concerns I had was around whistle-blower protection, so it's interesting to see you here today, and I'm glad to see that things are moving along.
I have a question to start off, just for clarification and for the record. The three people who have been appointed were appointed by whom? How did they become appointed?
