As it seems everyone is ready, we will resume our public meeting.
Our apologies. These things happen from time to time.
I would like to welcome representatives from the Treasury Board Secretariat, Mr. Ross MacLeod, Assistant Deputy Minister, Governance Planning and Policy Sector, and Martine Glandon, Manager, Values and Ethics.
Madam clerk was mentioning earlier that if we find we do not have enough time with Treasury Board, we still have some dates available in the context of our study. If the committee agrees, we could then do a follow-up if needed.
Without further ado, you may proceed. You have 10 minutes. There will then be a question period which may be a bit shorter than usual. We will however make good use of it.
