Thank you very much, Minister.
I would just remind everyone that the normal rules of this committee are those of the House. On matters of decorum, we usually allow some flexibility to speak directly with the minister, but if things get a little bit heated, as they sometimes do in this committee, we'll address the normal points of order and we'll have the questions then directed through the chair.
Without further ado, I would ask Mr. Tabbara to begin the first seven-minute round.
