Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Before I begin, I would like to thank the witnesses for their presence here today.
There are a lot of dates being thrown around. I'm new to this committee for today.
One of the things that would really help me, even though I've been paying attention to this issue in the news and in my discussions with caucus colleagues, would be if you could walk us through the process that led us up to today. I think my colleague Madam Ratansi mentioned earlier that she wanted a picture of how things rolled out. You started to mention that the implementation of the pay modernization system began in 2009. A 50,000-foot overview of how this thing went would be very helpful to me and I think to Canadians as well.
