Ladies and gentlemen, we will reconvene the meeting and welcome as our next guest and witness Mr. Peter DeVries, an expert in public management issues with a long and storied history with the Department of Finance. He has a great deal of experience in these matters. We welcome you here, Mr. DeVries. You have five or ten minutes or as long as you see fit to give us a presentation and then we'll look forward to questions.
The floor is yours.
