Thank you very much, Ms. Doyle.
We'll now begin our first round, which consists of four members with six minutes each. Mr. Perkins will have the floor first for six minutes.
Before you begin, because we have a few new members here, I should just let everyone know how I like to run these and have run them without objection from anyone to date. Should there be any need to change that, we can take it to the subcommittee at some point.
I try to let members ask questions up to the end of their time. I'll begin to nudge as you get close to the time, but I like our witnesses to give a full and concise answer, even if it goes beyond the time. I think this has worked well for this committee to hear fully from the witnesses.
I'll remind our members that, should you interrupt the witness when they're responding to a follow-up question after your time, I'll immediately stop the clock and move on. It's meant to give the witnesses time for one last crack at bat, I suppose, and it's proven to work well. I've not heard any objections.
I just wanted to let members know, particularly those who are new here, that as you're approaching the end of your time, I allow witnesses to complete a brief answer.
Mr. Perkins, I will again flag that you have six minutes, not six minutes and 10 seconds. Thank you.
