The clock shows 3:30.
We are continuing our study on the federal buildings maintenance contracts.
We have with us, from the Department of Public Works and Government Services, Mr. John McBain, assistant deputy minister, real property branch; Mr. Frank Brunetta, assistant deputy minister, departmental oversight branch; and Mr. Rick DeBenetti, director general, corporate services.
We will have you with us from 3:30 until 4:15, and after that we'll be listening to the people from SNC Lavalin.
I understand you have opening remarks, Mr. McBain.
You have five to seven minutes, and the floor is yours. Thank you.
