We are back.
Pursuant to Standing Order 81(5), the order of reference adopted by the House of Commons on Thursday, November 9, 2023 and the motion adopted a few minutes ago—thank you, Ms. Vignola—the committee is resuming its study on the supplementary estimates (B) for 2023-24.
We'll get the minister to start his opening statement while we're handing out our nameplates.
Minister, thanks for your patience. You have five minutes. The floor is yours, sir.
