Good morning, members, and thank you for joining us here on this rather snowy morning.
Our orders of the day today, pursuant to Standing Order 81(5), are supplementary estimates (C), 2010-11. This is on votes 1c, 5c, 10c, and 15c under Indian Affairs and Northern Development, referred to the committee on Tuesday, February 8.
As is customary, we welcome Minister John Duncan, Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. It's great that you could join us, Minister.
You know the drill, of course, having been a dutiful member of our committee yourself in the past. So go ahead with your opening statement and we'll take it from there.
Welcome.
