Thank you, Madam Chair.
And welcome, witnesses. We're glad to have you and we appreciate the work you have been doing.
I'm also glad to hear you say that the bar is high, and we know that is what Canadians want. Our government wants that. As a result of that, we realized there was a need there, and as you know, on September 15 we announced $17.7 million for such things as translation and interpretation services for the 2010 games.
It was intensively negotiated with VANOC, as you know. It was not just a spontaneous decision.
My question would be whether you are happy with this amount that was announced and whether you can give us some idea as to where this money is going.
