Thank you, Mr. Dent. Anything further, Mrs. Groenewegen? Before we get to our next general comment, I would just like to draw Members' attention to the gallery. We have with us today nine, actually, I think there's seven at the last count, senior federal officials who are here to observe us today. They're part of the Canada School of Public Service. I'm going to go through their names: Sylvie Du Pont, Roger Ouellette, Therese Roy, Alice Born, Gilles Saindon, Murielle Belliveau, Jean Claude Piedboeuf, Collin Reaney, and Mary Jane Armstrong. I'd just like to welcome you all to our proceedings this afternoon.

Thank you, committee. We'll now move to Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Hawkins.
