Thank you.
We're going to start with questions.
It's not that it's an entirely new committee; it's just coincidental today that we have a few absences. I want to welcome the Honourable Gurbax Malhi to the committee today, who's replacing the Liberal critic, Martha Hall Findlay; and my old friend Louis Plamondon, the dean of the House, representing today his colleague Claude Guimond for the Bloc Québécois. And—oh my gosh—we have Malcolm Allen here representing Mr. Julian, which will be to the delight, no doubt, of Mr. Casey; and Lois Brown, representing our own Ron Cannan.
We're going to start off today with Mr. Silva for the Liberal Party.
Mr. Silva.
