Thank you very much, Mr. Ferguson. We appreciate your work and your straightforward message today. I think we're all reminded that you are an officer of Parliament and that you report to Parliament. The clerk who was here is a very important officer who reports to cabinet and is the chief civil servant, and so there are two different responsibilities. We appreciate your bringing this message to Parliament.
We will now go to the first round of questioning.
Mr. Massé, you have seven minutes.
