I call the meeting back to order, colleagues.
Our witnesses now are from Treasury Board Secretariat. The subject matter is now more focused. We're looking at vote 35, which is the $3 billion stimulus package. We're essentially in a formal way looking at the government estimates, keeping in mind we'll have at least one additional meeting next week that will continue with this.
I want to welcome the witnesses and thank them for coming. We're here for about an hour. We have Alister Smith, assistant secretary, expenditure management sector; Kelly Gillis, assistant secretary, corporate services sector; Brian Pagan, executive director, expenditure operations and estimates division; and Dan Danagher, executive director, labour relations and compensation operations. That sounds like a lot of expertise.
Do you have an opening statement?
Ms. Gillis, go ahead.
