Thank you.
I also want to congratulate the vice-chairs. We'll work together and make sure that we hear from everyone in all the regions. As Mr. Blaney said, since this is a national committee, we must think of everyone. We must really meet the committee's objectives and fulfill its mandate.
On that note, as is customary, I think that we should now address the routine motions.
Ms. Ashton, the floor is yours.
