Yes, Mr. Chair.
I'll keep my opening remarks very brief, and would simply say that we're pleased to be here today to respond to questions.
I would like to highlight that the government has accepted the recommendations of the Auditor General on all of the matters that have been raised, and has undertaken to follow through and implement a number of initiatives.
I would also like to point out, as the Auditor General has done in her report, that there have been some significant improvements made to the management of the Canada Firearms Centre over the last number of years, thanks to the hard work of the people who continue to work there today.
Because there's limited room at the table, I would like to point out, Mr. Chair, that I have with me today three of my colleagues from the Canada Firearms Centre: John Brunet, the chief financial officer; Beverley Holloway, the chief operating officer;
Mr. Denis Bilodeau, our chief counsel,
our Justice lawyer working at the Firearms Centre.
We'd be pleased to take your questions.
