Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Minister, for being here with us today.

Minister, you touched on this, actually, in your opening remarks. The estimates mentioned integrity measures for CERB, so I want to start with that, with regard to the integrity of this within ESDC itself.

Last week a story broke that, within your department, 49 ESDC employees were fired by the department for taking CERB while they were still employed. Would that be correct, Minister?
