Good afternoon, everybody. It's so wonderful to be back again. I want to especially thank Mr. Uppal for being so kind and doing such a great job of chairing this meeting while I was at other duties. Thank you.
I want to especially welcome Minister Aglukkaq. It's very nice to see you here today.
I know we've had an interesting week this week in Parliament, and I would ask that everybody do two things. The first thing is to be very polite and respectful, which I know you can be, Monsieur Malo. This is very possible? Yes. He's always got such a good sense of humour, so I can pick on him. The second thing is I would like you to please stick to the estimates, because that's what we're here for.
What we're going to do, first of all, is ask the minister to make her presentation.
It is indeed a pleasure, Minister, to have you here. Thank you.
