Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm here this morning to answer questions. I apologize that I wasn't here before my staff, but I think you also had an opportunity to ask my officials some questions that are important to Canadians. I will continue to sit here for the next hour to answer questions that you may have.
In my view, it's just as important for committee members to ask questions of my officials as well as of me. So I'll sit here and answer the questions and go through the process.
Thank you.
