This is a very good committee, and I think they're very interested in hearing your testimony.
Why don't we do this, colleagues, so that we don't have a disjointed set of questions? Perhaps we can have Madame Therrien's opening statement, then depart and then return.
Madame Therrien, I understand you have a very short opening statement because you want to leave time for questions, but you can certainly expand upon it, if you wish.
There are now 25 minutes, so if you could give your opening statement, we'll then determine whether we have a chance for at least one or two questions.
