Thank you, Madam Chairman.

Thank you for coming in today, Mr. Roy and Ms. MacPherson.

I have a few questions to start off with. I realize that there are some unique pressures on the budget this year, and I thought it would be helpful for the committee to allow you to elaborate a little bit on some of these unique pressures.

I understand that there are obviously significant expenses related to the G8 and G20 meetings. Could we start off with elaborating on those expenses and how they affect your budget?
