I bring this meeting to order, particularly now that Mr. Ellis has arrived.
As you'll see, there's been a change in the order.
Minister Blair had a medical issue that's he's attending to today. He fully intends to make himself available as soon as possible. I believe I'm allowed to say that it is as soon as Monday, because he does want to appear on this study.
Also, I want to recognize Ted Opitz, a former member, and a former member of this committee.
Welcome.
