Thank you very much, Mr. Johns.
I'll return to welcoming our first witness for today. Our guest is the Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Minister of Transport and Internal Trade. Joining her from the Department of Transport are Arun Thangaraj, deputy minister, and Stephanie Hébert, assistant deputy minister of programs.
Welcome to all three of you. Thank you for taking the time to appear today.
Minister, it's always a pleasure to have you here.
You have five minutes for your opening statement. You now have the floor.
