Thank you, Mr. Casey.
Next week we will be working in our respective constituencies. If the committee members wish, we can see after our break week whether we can invite the minister and another witness to appear at the same time. I think the request was for them to appear for at least an hour.
Before we move on to the witness statements, I would like to go back to what Mr. Blake Richards and Mr. Sean Casey said.
Do the committee members consent to presenting the dissenting report at some point?
You are indicating that you do. Thank you.
We will take the necessary steps to remedy that.
Thank you, Mr. Richards.
Let's go to our witnesses now.
You're going to have five minutes each for your opening statements. After that, members of the committee will ask you questions. This is the first panel, and we are here for a total of one hour.
I would like to start the meeting with the retired captain, Mr. Bruyea.
Please go ahead.
