Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for making yourselves available at an atypical hour for a committee so that we could hear a little more from you today.
I want to talk a bit about the Emerson report, if we could.
Maybe you could start by giving the background as to why the report came about, or how that report came about, and what the mission was of the group that was looking into the issues. Then maybe you can elaborate a little on the stakeholder reaction to the report, on what we have heard from stakeholders since the report was released, and maybe in conjunction with the measures contained in the budget in response to the report.
