At this point in time I call the meeting to order. I want to welcome everyone back to this session of today's meetings. This meeting will last one hour, colleagues, and we have one witness before us, Mr. David A. Brown.
Mr. Brown was the independent investigator appointed by the public safety minister earlier in the year to report on some of the issues surrounding the insurance and pension funds of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Mr. Brown did report to the minister on June 15. That report is public, and I believe all members have a copy. He's also been appointed to chair a task force to deal with governance structures regarding the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. That task force has been under way for about six weeks. It is served by four other members besides him, and their mandate is to report by the end of the year, by December 31.
Mr. Brown, I want to welcome you to the committee. I thank you for coming. First of all, do you have any opening comments or remarks you wish to make?
