He snuck that in, even though it wasn't his turn.
Thank you, gentlemen. It's been a great pleasure.
Our next panel is being hooked up by teleconference.
Our next panel of witnesses must have gotten up very early to be with us today, and we appreciate the effort very much.
We'd like to welcome, from Partnerships British Columbia, Sarah Clark, president and chief executive officer, and Mr. Larry Blain, the chair of the board of directors. Welcome, Ms. Clark and Mr. Blain. Also by video conference, from John Laing Investments Ltd., we have Mr. Marcus Akhtar, project director, and Tara Rogers, bid director. Welcome to you, as well. Thank you for being here.
Our practice is to invite witnesses to make a brief presentation of five to ten minutes and then open it to questions from the members of our government operations committee.
The order on our agenda is to invite Partnerships British Columbia to be the first presenter. Please limit your remarks to five to ten minutes, to give ample opportunity for committee members to ask questions.
Ms. Clark, the floor is yours.
