We don't have the entire committee here, but since we were delayed by votes and our witnesses have been patiently waiting, I think we will start. We do have quorum.
Madam Smart, thank you very much for being here. I know we attempted on two or three other occasions to fit schedules and we weren't successful, so we do appreciate your appearance today.
I think you understand how the committee works. We'll have an opening statement from you, followed by a series of questions by committee members.
Without further ado, Madam Smart, the floor is yours.
