Thank you very much, Dr. Wehner.
It's a very interesting overview from an international point of view. It's interesting to me, as the chair, just how many countries are in fact struggling with an effort to make the matters of supply and estimates more transparent and comprehensible for the public.
It's interesting as well that some countries are making the changes to these things via standing orders.
I know we have lots of questions. Just for your information, we're represented in this committee in roughly the same proportion as the parties are represented in the House of Commons. We have the government side, with seven members here; we have the official opposition, with three; and the third party, the Liberal Party, with one member.
It's our custom that this committee is chaired by the opposition; I'm a member of the official opposition.
The first round of questioning will go to the opposition and our representative, Mr. Alexandre Boulerice.
Alexandre, you have five minutes.
