Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Bonjour à tous.
Welcome to the eighth meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology. Pursuant to Standing Order 81(5) we are examining supplementary estimates (B) 2013-14 and specifically: votes 5b and 10b under Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency; votes 1b and 5b under Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec; votes 1b, 5b, 10b, 55b, 60b, 65b, 70b, 75b, 80b, 90b, 95b, and 105b under Industry; and vote 5b under Western Economic Diversification. These were referred to the committee on Thursday, November 7, 2013.
In this regard, we have some witnesses before us, and I will introduce them right now: Marta Morgan, associate deputy minister, Department of Industry; Robert Dunlop, assistant deputy minister, science and innovation sector; David Enns, chief financial officer, corporate management sector; and Iain Stewart, assistant deputy minister, strategic policy sector.
I believe Ms. Morgan and Mr. Enns are giving opening remarks. Is that correct?
