Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much to our witnesses.
The Privy Council Office is sometimes a little bit of a mystery to a lot of Canadians and to parliamentarians as well, but one of the key functions—and I don't mean that disparagingly. I just mean that you're involved in some pretty high-level lofty stuff.
As to the Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat, could you give an overview of exactly what that does? I'll target my question. There have not been a whole lot of first ministers' conferences chaired by the Prime Minister, and I'm just curious. Are we keeping this effort going? What's its budget? Why are we keeping the Canadian Intergovernmental Conference Secretariat going?
