Thank you very much.
Before we go to questions, I want to remind committee members that an appointee who is called before us for examination.... If it’s an order-in-council examination--and I am quoting O’Brien and Bosc--the committee “is limited by the Standing Orders to examining the individual’s qualifications and competence to perform the duties of the office sought”. So I seek your cooperation in complying with that. But as always, we’ll be reasonable in terms of the questions that will be permitted.
We’ll begin with Ms. Jennings.
