I call this meeting to order.
We have with us today one of our most frequent guests: Mr. Quinn. Welcome again.
We also have Admiral Carosielli with us. Welcome as well.
Both of you have opening five-minute statements.
Before I ask for the opening statements, I will say to colleagues that we are anticipating dealing on Friday with—for want of a better term—the balloon issue. We almost have confirmation from relevant authorities to appear on Friday morning. I say this in the context that today there may be an enthusiasm to ask questions about balloons, which I would encourage members to save until Friday.
We also almost have confirmation with respect to the minister appearing shortly thereafter.
With that, is it Admiral Carosielli or Mr. Quinn who will make the opening statement?
You have five minutes, Mr. Quinn.
