Merci beaucoup.
Thank you, Madame d'Auray and Mr. Smith, for being here. We thank you for the dialogue we're going to have. Collectively we hope to figure out what your department does and what other departments are supposed to follow through on.
I'm going to suspend for a few minutes. We have the next round of witnesses coming in.
I need to have the precision of the military here. We have until 5:15, so I'd like to welcome the Parliamentary Budget Officer, Mr. Page, along with Mr. Askari, Mr. Khan, Mr. Weltman, and Mr. Mathilakath.
I understand you have some opening remarks, Mr. Page.
