Thank you, Minister.
Before I go to questions, I want to say to members that I've taken a fairly generous interpretation of relevance on previous appearances by ministers, particularly on estimates and supplementary estimates. I remind all members that we are here to discuss Bill C-59, and I'm rather hoping that members will tie their questions in some manner or another to Bill C-59, however remote that tie might be.
With that, Monsieur Picard, go ahead for seven minutes, please.
