This is the seventh meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. Pursuant to Standing Order 84(1), the main estimates for 2006-07, including votes 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, and 80 under public safety and emergency preparedness, were referred to this committee on April 25.
We welcome the Honourable Stockwell Day to the committee.
Mr. Day, I presume you will have some kind of initial presentation, and before you begin, maybe I would let you introduce the witnesses who are with you, as well.
The usual procedure at this committee is that after all the witnesses have finished, we will then go to questions from the official opposition for seven minutes.
