We'll call the meeting to order.
Thank you, colleagues. We have a busy agenda this morning between now and 11 o'clock. From 8 to 9:30, we have Mr. Bernier here; then from 9:30 to 10 o'clock, I'd like to go in camera to talk about future committee business; and then at 10 o'clock, as of a motion adopted Thursday, February 1, we'll have briefings by the UN and NATO folks. We'll keep to that schedule as best we can.
We'll start off, Minister Bernier, by welcoming you to the committee. We look forward to your remarks, and then we'll go into a round of questions.
The floor is yours, sir.
