Thank you very much, Mr. Marshall.
Thank you very much, Mr. Laforest.
Before I go to Mr. Williams, I just want to clarify an item. There are a couple of letters that have been given to us. They have been circulated in both official languages to each member of the committee.
The first letter is a letter dated December 6, 2006. It's from the Auditor General of Canada to Mr. Graham Badun, the president and chief executive officer of Royal LePage Relocation Services, regarding some information that was before the committee and regarding the issue of whether or not this was discussed with Royal LePage before the audit was tabled in Parliament.
The second letter is a letter dated January 26. It's from the Department of Public Works and Government Services Canada, under the signature of the deputy minister, to our clerk. It's basically a rehash, in perhaps a more elaborate form, of Mr. Marshall's testimony here today about his allegation that despite some of the inaccuracies in the information, he considers the process to be a fair one.
Those letters, colleagues, have been circulated. We consider them part of the evidence, so if anyone wants to question any of the witnesses on any statement in the letters, feel free to do so.
Mr. Williams, you have eight minutes.
