I'm planning to go for 45 minutes, which means ending at one. I will obviously not want to cut the minister off and not want to stop some interesting questions, so I will be listening to verify that the questions aren't repetitive and that they are on the bill, rather than on something else. If I sense the committee is done with the minister—no offence—then we will move into committee business, but I am planning to go to committee business at one o'clock.
Without further ado, Minister, thank you again for being so prepared for this meeting on two bills. We invite your opening statement on Bill C-18.
