Thank you very much, Mr. Goodman.
Just before we go to the first round, in my opening comment I neglected to mention that we're accompanied today by the parliamentary counsel, Mr. Rob Walsh.
Mr. Walsh, because there's a difference of opinion as to the mandate of the Office of the Auditor General, I asked for a legal opinion on this issue. That legal opinion was prepared by Mr. Walsh's office. It's been circulated to all members, and he's here today. If any members of the committee want to address any questions directly to him, he's here for that purpose.
We're going to start the first round of seven minutes.
Ms. Ratansi, you have seven minutes.
