Thank you.
The hard stop today is at 7 p.m. We will give the minister the full hour, starting at 4:20. It will go until 5:20. We will then split the time after that.
One request I would like to make to the honourable members, just to make my life a bit easier, is to have no crosstalk, please. If you think the minister is going a little bit longer on the answer and you want to interrupt, raise your hand and I will acknowledge you, or the minister himself will stop.
With that, I would also love to welcome an honourable member who is just a visitor: Mr. Lehoux, welcome to the committee.
Of course, welcome to Mr. Dreeshen as well. He is substituting for Mr. Kmiec.
With that, I will give the floor to the honourable minister for five minutes.
Minister, go ahead, please.
