I call the meeting back to order.
We are very lucky to have guests today from the Department of Finance, including Richard Botham, the assistant deputy minister for economic development and corporate finance. From the Department of Public Works and Government Services, we have Alfred MacLeod; and from StatsCan, we have François Nault and Tamara Hudon.
We welcome all of you.
We're going to begin with Richard, for 10 minutes, please.
