Thank you very much, Mr. Minister.
Just before we get into questioning, I do want to mention a couple of things.
First, this meeting was originally scheduled as an in camera meeting. That's why we were prepared to start the meeting like that. At the last meeting, a member had asked this meeting to be opened up, and we're fine with that.
On the agenda, I notice that the meeting time is scheduled for 3:30 to 5:30, and I understand, Minister Emerson, that you have a cabinet committee meeting to attend at 4:30.
