Thank you very much. It sounds as though you have absolutely framed what we are looking for.
We'll go to questions later. At this point I'm going to invite the two other institutional groups of witnesses to present, if they wish, at this time. From the Privy Council Office we have Simon Kennedy, deputy secretary to the cabinet for plans and consultation; Tim Sargent, assistant secretary to the cabinet, liaison secretariat for macroeconomic policy; and Marilyn MacPherson.
Ms. MacPherson, are you providing the opening statement?
