Fine. Thank you very kindly.
We'll continue now. We're following up on the November 2006 Report of the Auditor General of Canada. It was the second report of the second session of the 39th Parliament.
Today we have with us, from the Department of Public Safety, the deputy minister, Mr. William Baker, and of course we have the Commissioner of Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Mr. William Elliott.
Thank you so kindly for coming in here today, gentlemen. We certainly appreciate your time, given the commitments that everyone has. I know the committee is looking forward to your opening comments, which I assume you have. Then of course we will follow with our round of questioning based obviously on information we have, and of course based on the input that you're about to provide now.
Perhaps we could then start with Mr. Baker, please.
