I would like now to encourage our next panel of witnesses to please come forward.
We apologize to our witnesses from the Philippines for the fact that we are running late. We didn't get access to the room until a little later than we anticipated. What I am intending to do is to have the meeting run a little bit past the time at which we had intended to wrap things up, so that instead of concluding at 2 p.m., we will conclude at 2:10 p.m. That will still give our members time, if they run, to go to the House of Commons, but it will also allow a decent amount of time for your presentation.
This panel has exactly 30 minutes at its disposal. In order to ensure there is time for one round of questions from each of the parties, my suggestion is that you attempt to keep your presentation to 20 minutes. That will allow 10 minutes for questions and answers, and this time I'll be much more strict than I was the first time around in enforcing tight time limits for the questions and answers.
With that preamble out of the way, I welcome our panellists and invite them to begin their presentation.
