I call the meeting to order.
This morning we're continuing our review of the main estimates. In this case it's a series of votes under Treasury Board.
We're delighted to have with us this morning the minister responsible for the Treasury Board, the Honourable Vic Toews, President of the Treasury Board. He's joined by a number of officials who have been good enough to accompany him. I'd better get them all on the record in the beginning. They include Wayne Wouters, secretary of the Treasury Board; Alister Smith, assistant secretary, expenditure management sector; Mr. Dan Danagher, executive director, program integrity; and Ms. Kelly Gillis, assistant secretary, corporate services sector.
Thank you very much for coming.
As is customary, we'll open with the minister, who will open the issue of the main estimates for Treasury Board.
Minister Toews.
