Thank you, Chair.
Welcome to all.
If I may, I will certainly respond to the courtesy of Madame Faille. I absolutely will acknowledge, in the presence of my colleagues here, that while we do have an occasional difference of opinion or philosophical approach, for the most part Madame Faille comes here unbelievably well prepared, and we somehow find an accommodation to portray and exhibit results here, rather than sometimes the embarrassment that is normally seen in question period, which honestly is not a reflection of the work we do here.
Madame Faille, thank you.
Now I'll go to our colleagues here, and to our guests, perhaps to the CIC and Mr. Yeates or Madame Deschênes.
It was mentioned, of course, that regular processes are one thing, but in a humanitarian crisis, whether it's Haiti or a tsunami, your services were called upon to sort of do above and beyond.... Now, when you do that, do regular processes suffer? Do we start to fall behind in our regular processing or are you able to accommodate that with extra budget and/or extra allotment?
