Mr. Shipley is not official, but he keeps showing up. We're grateful for that. Thank you for being here.
Ms. Stubbs, congratulations on your new critic role. You'll continue to be with us on the committee, which we're all very pleased about.
We have two sets of witnesses today. We have the department officials, who are joining us for the first hour. Thank you very much for being here. Then we have two witnesses in the second hour.
Before we get to that, I'm going to turn it over to our clerk. We have to elect a new deputy chair.
