Okay, can we come back to order, please?
I'm going to suggest we get started because we're going to be running up directly against question period and I'm sure there are folks who have some potential requirements there.
Welcome back, everyone. We have the department officials, who I introduced earlier, but I will do so quickly again here.
We have Graham Flack, Deputy Minister, Employment and Social Development; Chantal Maheu, Deputy Minister, Labour; Leslie MacLean, Senior Associate Deputy Minister of Employment and Social Development and Chief Operating Officer for Service Canada; Mark Perlman, Chief Financial Officer and Senior Assistant Deputy Minister, Chief Financial Officer Branch; and BenoƮt Robidoux, Associate Deputy Minister, Employment and Social Development.
Welcome back to this committee. We are going to get right into questions and up first we have MP Barlow.
