I'm calling this meeting to order.
I want to thank Minister Goodale for his presence. He is here to talk about the main estimates.
Before he starts, I want to note that this is possibly the last time the minister will appear before this particular committee. On behalf of the committee, I want to thank him not only for his attendance here, but for his willingness to co-operate with the committee and to review all of the amendments that have been put forward by this committee to him, and his willingness to accept quite a high percentage of them.
Minister, I want to thank you for your co-operation and for your relationship with the committee.
With that—
