Colleagues, I'll convene the meeting now, if I may.
I want to welcome our guests from the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer. It's good to see you all again.
Colleagues, before we begin our opening statements and rounds of questions, I should inform all of you that since Mr. Erin Weir is no longer a permanent member of this committee, we are compelled under Standing Order 106(2) to elect a second vice-chair. The second vice-chair must be a member of the opposition, but not a member of the official opposition, since this is one of the five committees that opposition members chair. If you do the math, you'll figure out that we're down to one person, who happens not to be here, but he will end up being our committee vice-chair nonetheless, so we still need to go through the election.
Madam Ratansi, go ahead.
