I'd like to bring this meeting to order.
This is the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, meeting number 44. We are examining the main estimates today.
We welcome the minister to the committee, but we'll ask the media to please leave the room.
Thank you very much.
As I just said, we welcome the Minister of Public Safety, the Hon. Stockwell Day, to our committee this morning. We look forward to some opening remarks from you, sir. You have beside you your officials as well, and you can take a minute, if you'd like, to introduce them, and then you can begin your remarks.
