Thank you.
Gentlemen, thank you very much for joining us today. I apologize that we're getting off to a late start. We had some votes in the House. Just so you're forewarned, it's entirely possible the bells might start ringing during this meeting, and we may have to abruptly adjourn and go back for some further votes. Let's cross our fingers and hope that doesn't happen.
Some of you are familiar with the format. We'll give each of you up to 10 minutes to make your presentation, and then depending on how much time we have after that, we will open the floor to questions from members around the table.
I encourage you to use your headsets, because you'll be asked questions in both French and English, and of course, you're free to deliver your remarks or answer any questions in either official language as well.
Mr. Ferguson, why don't we start with you, since you know the procedure.
