Thank you very much, Mr. Minister.
It was a very good summary of what's happening in your area. It's a bright picture, with some dark clouds and some caution over the horizon.
Before I open it up, I want to comment on the bells. The votes are apparently at ten after. If we don't get information to change that, we should leave at about five after.
I'd like to have as many questions asked of the minister as possible, so we'll go right to the official opposition, followed by the Bloc and the Conservatives.
Mr. LeBlanc, go ahead.
