Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, Minister, for being here today.
Minister, in your opening remarks today you indicated, “Once these claims are received, the final audits will commence with the intent to have the process completed by March 31, 2011.” Then you indicate that you “will respond to all questions posed on the security budget and costs and will deliver a full financial report on actual costs incurred once available”.
I'm taking you at your word that you want to provide full disclosure to the committee. I'm asking you now for your commitment to come back, once all this information is available, for a full two-hour session before the committee to justify these.
