Colleagues, we will convene once again.
I want to welcome the officials from the Privy Council Office who are with us here today.
Mr. Shea, I understand that you have a brief opening statement, and that will be followed by questions from our committee members. As I mentioned to colleagues at the outset of this meeting, I will be suspending at approximately 10 minutes to 1 o'clock so we can have a very brief committee business session, which will be in camera.
Mr. Shea, you have about 50 minutes. That will include both your opening statement and questions. The floor is yours, sir.
