I call the meeting to order, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), as we continue our study on the Canada Employment Insurance Financing Board.
I want to welcome all of our witnesses today. I realize some of you had little notice and some of you had less than little notice. We really appreciate your showing up today.
Just before we get started, there is some housekeeping to take care of, the bulk of which we'll leave until afterwards. We need to approve the request for the operational budget to hear our witnesses. I believe everyone has a copy of it in front of them. Is there any discussion on this? I'm going to pose the question, then, that someone move to adopt the budget.
Mr. Savage, seconded by Tony.
