I call this meeting to order.
I see that it's 11 o’clock and we have quorum.
I'm particularly pleased to see the minister here today. I appreciate that the committee had to make some accommodations in the last week, but he's looking hale and hearty.
Welcome, Minister.
I also want to take note that our colleague Shelby Kramp-Neuman's father died in the last few days. I had the privilege of being with Daryl in years past, as I believe James and Cheryl did as well. He was a really stand-up guy and a really good member of Parliament. I will be circulating a card to everyone to remember our colleague in these difficult times.
With that, it looks like we're going to have another go at last Wednesday. As I said, I'm more than pleased to see the minister here, looking hale, hearty and healthy.
