I call this meeting back to order.
I'd like to welcome, from the Association of Canadian Financial Officers, Dany Richard, the president. Thank you for joining us today.
We're running a little behind schedule, but just so everyone knows, it's my intention to get us through three rounds. That will take us to 5:30. The last round is going to be somewhat truncated. The government and official opposition members will have four minutes, and the other two parties will have two minutes each. I will do everything I can to get us finished by 5:30.
Mr. Richard, you'll be given five minutes for an opening statement. It's over to you, please.
