Good morning. I'd like to begin. We welcome our witnesses, and we're very grateful that you've taken the time to be here to answer our questions.
With the indulgence of the committee, since I am the only New Democratic Party member, I would like to be able to ask my questions as usual, in the usual time slot. As always, I will be very strict with all members of the committee regarding time, particularly the member for the New Democratic Party.
Again, thank you for being here. You have 10 minutes. We'll begin our first round of questions after you're finished. It's seven minutes for each caucus, and that includes both the question and the answer.
Mr. Kessel.
