Thank you very much, Mr. Rimstad.
Thanks to all of our witnesses.
Before turning to questions, I want to go through a couple of additional housekeeping items. My logic for doing so now is that, as often happens, we may find ourselves pressed right to the wall on questions. I don't want to have to interrupt with administrative matters at that time.
Thursday's meeting will be a one-hour meeting, not an hour and a half, because we have no witnesses. I propose we review the witness list and try to give a bit of structure for folks about what's coming. That will provide an opportunity for Mr. Marston's motion to be dealt with by the committee.
I also want to mention that we received presentations from Mr. Rimstad and Mr. Stork. Mr. Stork's has been distributed. Mr. Rimstad's is being translated and will be distributed. Hopefully you'll have it by Thursday. We apologize for that, but our rules preclude doing anything otherwise.
Third, I want to mention Tarek Hassan and say that he's very welcome here. On a more personal level, Tarek is an old friend of mine. We were saying earlier that we go back to the mid-1980s, when we were both students at Carleton University. Of course, you know all the wonderful associations that go along with being a student and graduate of Carleton University. I need say no more.
Finally, I turn to the matter of time limits. Rather than the usual seven-minute round followed by five-minute rounds, we have enough time for every member of the committee to get a seven-minute spot. I suggest we do that in our order, which is Liberal, Bloc Québécois, New Democratic, Conservative, Liberal, Conservative. That will give everybody seven minutes.
I now invite one of the Liberal MPs to start.
