Thank you very much.
Mr. Walsh, thank you for joining us. Your advice is always good for this committee, and we use it often. Thank you.
We'll suspend again for just a minute.
We'll call the meeting back to order.
Monsieur Bard, it's great to have you here today. If you have a quick opening statement we'll take it, and then a round of questions.
We have Madam O'Brien sitting with you. I know she is a great help to all of us on all these issues.
