Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome and thank you for coming to the committee meeting this morning.
We're studying Bill C-17. We have the minister and officials with us. The minister will be with us for the first hour and then we'll continue on with the officials. If we have 15 minutes for committee business at the end, we'll do that.
Welcome, Minister. Welcome, officials. We'll allow you to start. You have 10 minutes or thereabouts for your opening remarks and then we'll go into our rounds of questions.
