Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much for coming before us.
The first question I would like to raise...and of course this is the ongoing dilemma that we're reviewing in this committee, the timing of the mains and the budget and this process that we go through.
In the meantime, it has been revealed to us since the mains that the office of appointments is going to be ended. The obvious question, I guess, is that for all of these years we've continued to budget about $1.5 million to support a commission that doesn't exist.
Can we anticipate that in fact this $1.3 million, or whatever it is, will be removed from the PCO?
