Good afternoon, everyone. This is meeting number 37 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, November 1, 2010.
Today we're studying changes to the services offered by the Canada Border Services Agency. In our first hour we will have as witnesses the Canada Border Services Agency, with Stephen Rigby, president; Cathy Munroe, vice-president of the programs branch; and Sylvain St-Laurent, the vice-president of the comptrollership branch. We welcome you here. We're very pleased you're able to come and give us a briefing on this issue.
I understand that Mr. Rigby has an opening statement. We would invite him to do that. I'm not certain if he's appeared before this committee before. Then following the statements we'll allow members to have a couple of rounds of questions.
