Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
It is very good to see everybody back here at committee. I would ask that everyone take their seats so we can start.
I want to especially welcome the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq.
Minister, thank you for coming today. We so look forward to your presentation.
Of course, we also welcome Morris Rosenberg from the Department of Health.
Welcome back again. It's like old times, isn't it.
As well, we welcome Alfred Tsang, chief financial officer.
From the Public Health Agency is no stranger to our committee, Dr. David Butler-Jones, chief public health officer.
Welcome, Dr. Butler-Jones.
We also welcome James Libbey, chief financial officer.
As you know, the timing is a bit different for questions and answers when a minister is here. What will happen is the minister will give a presentation of 15 minutes or so, and following that, we'll proceed.
Minister Aglukkaq, we welcome you.
