Good morning, everyone. We do have a quorum.
Following the motion last week, we have invited two witnesses from the department to discuss the issues raised.
I want to welcome Mr. Gilbert, and Mr. Hillier, who are no strangers to this committee process. We are pleased to have you here. We'll be discussing the issues with you until about 10:25. You know the process, the questions, and so on, involved. Then we'll go to committee business after that and will excuse you at that time.
Welcome. I turn it over to you for your introductory comments. We would like to keep them to around 10 to 15 minutes this morning , if you could, please. Thank you.
