Welcome back, everyone.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the impact of the Government of Canada's deadline of March 31, 2011, for completion of projects under the infrastructure stimulus fund and the recreational Infrastructure Canada program.
Joining us for the second half, from Infrastructure Canada, we have Mr. John Forster, associate deputy minister, and Bryce Conrad, assistant deputy minister. Joining us from Western Economic Diversification Canada, we have Daniel Watson, deputy minister, and Cathy Matthews, director general, finance and management accountability.
Mr. Watson, I understand you have a brief presentation, and then we'll go to questions and answers. Please begin.
