Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
I have a couple of things. I get an opportunity sometimes to speak to parliamentarians from other countries, and of course, they simply wish they had the issues that we deal with on a day-to-day and a month-to-month basis. When we talk about how we fit in the G-7.... Again, hearing of the advances, maybe it's delayed as far as some folks are concerned, but the type of reporting that will be out there is to be championed as far as Canada is concerned.
It's important that we look at that, but also, by the same token, look at how proactive the government is in addressing future challenges and make a comparison for what we are doing at the international level.
Perhaps, Ms. Cheng, you could go through some of those aspects and then I'd like comments from Finance as well.
