Good afternoon everybody.
Thank you to our witnesses Mr. Martin, Ms. Thompson, and Mr. Kent for joining us this afternoon. I apologize for the delay; we had some votes in the House. We're going to jump right into things now.
Each group has up to 10 minutes to present, to be followed by a round of questions. There are earpieces available if you need interpretation services. You will almost certainly be asked questions in both official languages, and of course you're welcome to answer questions or deliver your remarks in either.
Mr. Martin, we will start with you. I'll start on my right and open the floor with you.
