Welcome back to the second hour of today's consideration of the main estimates 2015-16.
We have with us for the second hour the departmental officials. I introduced several of them with the minister. I'll introduce two who have joined us: Benoît Long, the senior assistant deputy minister of the process and payment services branch, Service Canada; and Brian Naish, the chief financial officer.
We'll start this half of the meeting with any of the officials here who wish to make comments and we'll give you five to seven minutes, depending on how many of you would like to speak. If you do not care to speak, that's totally understood as well, and we'll move right into questioning.
Do any of you wish to make comments before we begin the afternoon session?
