I call this meeting to order.
If the cameras could leave that would be excellent. It is a televised event. You guys can go watch it on TV if you really want to. Thank you.
As the committee knows, the bells will be going in about 25 minutes or so. We'll have the minister give his opening statement, and then we'll get at least one round of questioning to the minister before we have to go back to vote.
Minister, the floor is yours.
