Thank you very much, and we apologize to the witnesses for the brief delay.
This meeting is now public and televised.
One quick little bit of housekeeping just before we start. The chair would entertain the motion for expenses that has been distributed. It has been moved by Mr. Payne and seconded by Mr. Garrison.
All in favour?
(Motion agreed to)
Thank you very kindly.
Okay, we have three witnesses here. We have up to 10 minutes per witness for your comments, followed by a brief question and answer. We have you for the first hour, so we thank you very much for your patience.
The chair, on behalf of all of this committee, thanks you very much for coming in today.
We will start off in the order of Mona Lee, followed by Arlène Gaudreault, and then Mr. McCormack.
Ms. Lee, you have the floor for 10 minutes, please.
