We have quorum and it's my happy task to welcome the minister, after many tries, to this committee.
We are studying the subject matter of the estimates. We have the minister with us for an hour. You'll note that the time for reporting back to the House has passed, so there will be no votes for the committee on the main estimates.
As I say to all colleagues at the time that we're doing estimates, humour the chair just a bit by trying to tie the question to the estimates. That is what the minister is here for.
With that, Minister Anand, we look forward to your five-minute statement. Thank you.
