At any rate, Mr. Clarke will be attending to some obvious family business for the next few weeks, but he will be rejoining us before the end of the session.
I'd like to welcome our witnesses here today. We're dealing with the supplementary estimates (C). We have representatives from the Privy Council Office and Shared Services Canada.
Gentlemen and ladies, I think you know how these things work. We'll have opening statements, followed by a round questioning from all our panellists.
Mr. Dupont, I think you're first up on my list. Please give us your opening statement, sir.
