Thank you very much, minister, once again, for your opening comments.
We go now to questions and comments. We'll start with the seven-minute round, which allows one round to each of the three recognized political parties in the House and after that, we carry on with the five-minute round as allowed.
I want to remind members the minister is here for only an hour and his schedule requires that he leave on time at about 9:45.
We'll start the first seven-minute round with Mr. Leef.
Go ahead, please, Mr. Leef.
