Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and through you to the witnesses, thank you for attending today.
Ms. Peterson, first of all, I'd like to begin with an apology from all politicians. Unfortunately this place in Ottawa moves far too slowly. I know after several decades of pushing you're finally seeing the results that you deserve. It's only the love of a parent, and in this case the love of a mother, that has moved us, and especially Minister Flaherty, the late Jim Flaherty.
