Colleagues, I think we'll convene the meeting now. I see everyone seated at the table.
Colleagues, as we all know, yesterday was a tough day. Hopefully today will be a little better, and I'll leave it at that.
Mr. Brison, welcome to you and your officials. Minister, you've been at our committee many times in the past, so you know the drill. We'll look to you for a short opening address, and following that we will have a series of questions from our colleagues around the table.
My understanding is, Minister, you will be here for the first hour, and then your officials will stay here for the remaining second hour. Is that correct?
