Welcome. I didn't mean to start off with humour, but thank you for coming this morning. We recognize you have another appointment later on, and we've made some accommodation for you to come and talk to us about prorogation.
I had a chance to share with Professor Monahan a bit of where we are and who we've heard from, but he's got a fairly lengthy opening statement, so we're going to let him get right to it.
As I've already said, some of the members will eat while you give your presentation and some of the members will be on their BlackBerrys. It's not rude; it's just the nature of the work around here, it seems.
We'll turn the floor over to you, and let's see if we can get started.
