Thank you, Madam Chair.
We are also pleased to answer any questions regarding supplementary estimates (A).
This funding will enable CATSA to continue to deliver effective and efficient screening of persons who access aircraft or restricted areas through screening points, the property in their possession or control, and the belongings or baggage given to an air carrier for transportation.
CATSA's mandate consists of four areas of aviation security. One is the pre-board screening of passengers. This is the screening of passengers and their belongings prior to their entry into a restricted area of the airport. The second is hold baggage screening, also known as checked baggage screening, which is the screening of passengers' baggage to prevent the boarding of prohibited items.
Our mandate also includes a non-passenger screening program. This is the screening of non-passengers or airport workers accessing restricted areas at the highest risk airports in Canada.
We are also responsible for the restricted area identity card program. This program uses iris and fingerprint biometric identifiers to allow non-passengers access into the restricted areas of the airport.
Supported by our screening contractors and the screening officer workforce, we expect to screen more than 63 million passengers and their belongings in this fiscal year, 2017-2018.
As noted, I am here with my colleague Andie Andreou, chief financial officer for CATSA.
With that, I'll leave it there. Thank you.
