Thank you, Madam Chair, and good morning, Minister. To you and your officials, thank you for coming. We appreciate your being so gracious with your time.
I would like to acknowledge my colleagues for recognizing your background, which is key in this role.
I will also touch on governance. After the fire of 1916, there was a joint committee struck, and Pearson reported weekly to that committee. The transcripts exist from that meeting. It's really important that the House, the Senate and the Library of Parliament, the parliamentary partners, work together.
I would welcome your thoughts.
