I call the meeting to order.
Colleagues, I see that it is 3:30. We have quorum.
It's our privilege today to welcome Minister Blair to the committee for his first appearance, although he is no stranger to appearances before committees.
Colleagues, I made an executive decision to extend his time—a one-time extension—from five minutes to seven. In anticipation of that, I hope we're all appropriately caffeinated.
With that, Minister, I'm sure you'll introduce your colleagues. We look forward to what you have to say for the next few minutes.
Thank you.
