Thank you, Chair, and members of the committee, for having us today.
I'll start at my left and just move around the table. Tony Giles is the assistant deputy minister of policy, dispute resolution, and international affairs in the labour program in the department. Next to him is Brian Naish, who is the chief financial officer for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.
You had with you on Monday afternoon, Evan Siddall, who's the CEO and president of CMHC.
On my left is Louise Levonian, who is the chief operating officer of Service Canada. On my right is our chief financial officer, Alain Séguin. Paul Thompson is the senior assistant deputy minister for the skills and employment branch, and Kathryn McDade is the senior assistant deputy minister for the income security and social development branch.
We have other ADMs who I may feel at liberty to call to the table if your questioning gets into their areas of responsibility.
We've come in such numbers, Chair, to support the committee and answer your questions as fully as we can. It's good for the committee to get to know who are the senior officials in the department and for us to get to know the committee as well.
Would you like me to begin with some short remarks?
