Thank you.
Before I recognize Mr. Brown, I just want to say that the minister had agreed to be with us for an hour. We did start a few minutes late, and the minister did come on relatively short notice. We're continuing our consideration of this matter at our next meeting on Tuesday with the Treasury Board president, and there are officials from the minister's department here whom I'll introduce later who are staying. When the minister feels that it's time to go, we will accept his departure when that time comes.
Mr. Brown.
