Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister and your staff, for your presence here today.

As you know, your government has exceeded an unprecedented amount of $550 million in advertising in the last six years. You're priding yourself on openness, but you refuse, for example, to disclose the amount that the government spent on advertising during the Super Bowl. Why?
