Good morning.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the 31st meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.
Today I feel a bit like the Speaker of the House, saying that we're going to see the clock as of a couple of days before, considering the supplementary estimates have been passed, but we're here in that regard.
We have with us the Honourable James Moore. He will be presenting, and then we'll go to our regular round of questions.
You did see it correctly. It was 9 a.m., to facilitate the minister's schedule, so we have only an hour and forty-five minutes. I'll do the math in that regard as far as our rounds of questions go. The minister will be with us for one hour, and then the officials will stay with us for the remaining 45 minutes.
Minister Moore, please proceed with your opening remarks.
