Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the full gamut of officials that we have here today. We're obviously very disappointed that the minister has not attended, but we look forward to your fulsome answers.
Madame d'Auray, in last year's estimates, you forecast $2.3 billion total and a reduction of almost $400 million from the previous year. But according to this year's report, you overspent by almost that amount. So I wonder what assurances you can provide us that the similar forecast reduction in spending will be met this time.
