Thank you, Minister Blair.
Your comments came in at three minutes and 28 seconds. I appreciate your being short with those comments, so we can get to questions.
We will now have a six-minute round, starting with Mr. Cooper and followed by Ms. Romanado, Madam Gaudreau and Ms. Blaney. It will be six minutes through the chair.
As you know, we had a first hour of committee business. We all know how that went. I would just say mindfully to all committee members that you know what the expectations of this committee are, so go through the chair. Interpreters can only interpret one person at a time. We are dealing with a very important study, the question of privilege by the member for Wellington—Halton Hills and other members with regard to a very serious matter. I hope we all take note of that.
Mr. Cooper, through the chair, you have six minutes.
