Thank you very much, Mr. Thomas, and thank you very much to all of the witnesses.
We're now going to move to questions from the committee.
I would just like to let our witnesses know that it is perfectly acceptable to answer questions in the language of their choice. Simultaneous translation is available to all the members, so feel free to answer a question in French even if it was asked in English.
We're going to start with Mr. Nicholson.
