I call this meeting to order.
I appreciate everyone's attendance. I particularly appreciate that the minister came in early. It's a good example to your colleagues, may I say.
The minister has a hard stop at 4:30. I'm going to ask for her opening five-minute statement, and then we will follow our usual questioning order.
With that, Minister Anand, thank you for your prompt attendance. I think I speak for the committee when I say that I particularly thank you for all of your incredible work in the past few weeks and months. Thank you, again. I look forward to what you have to say.
