Thank you, Minister.
I'm going to pause for a moment.
The purpose of the meeting was consideration of supplementary estimates (B). I think the minister, in his opening comments, extended the latitude of the meeting by virtue of his comments. I'm allowing it, but I would remind members here that I will have to step in if we become too far off track. I know the minister's willing to engage, and I know the minister's willing to answer, but I'm simply saying to members of the committee around the table to please draw questions back to the reason why we commenced this meeting.
It's now Mr. Armstrong for seven minutes.
