To begin her time in the salt mines, we welcome Michelle Salvail. Welcome aboard; you're next. We'll see you in the new year.
That exhausts my business prior to the hearing at hand. Unless there are any other interventions I will move us immediately to the matter at hand.
We have of course our Auditor General, Michael Ferguson. We also have the president of the Canadian Northern Economic Development Agency, Janet King.
I will ask each of you as I give you the floor to introduce your delegation and give us any opening remarks you may have.
Without further ado, Mr. Auditor General, you now have the floor, sir.
