I will call the meeting to order.
First of all, I'd like to welcome the minister and Mr. Dupont for being here today.
Pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), we are dealing with the main estimates for 2012-13, votes 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30, under Natural Resources, referred to the committee on February 28, 2012.
Minister Oliver, the floor is yours, sir.
