Thank you, Minister.
Before I start, I'd like to welcome Parliamentary Secretary Leslie here. We also have two visiting members to our committee: Mr. Nater from Perth—Wellington and Madam Fortier from Ottawa—Vanier.
Welcome.
We're going to try to get everybody in, but the only way that's going to happen is if we keep everyone under five minutes, so keep your questions tight so the minister can have enough time to answer them. I don't want to have to cut off a member or the minister, but I'm going to try to keep it to five minutes so everybody can get a shot at this.
We're going to start with the Conservatives, and we have Mr. Hoback for five minutes.
Go ahead, sir.
