Thank you, Mr. Minister.
Now we begin the questions from the members of the committee. Before we start, I would like to remind you that the minister will be with us until 12:00 noon and that we are studying the votes in the supplementary estimates (C) 2009-2010. In order for the discussion to be helpful, I invite members of the committee to confine their questions to matters of a budgetary nature. For the first round, each member of the committee will have 10 minutes. Mr. Dosanjh, from the Liberal Party, has the floor. I understand that you will be sharing your time with Mr. Wilfert.
Mr. Dosanjh.
