I thank Mr. Moran and his officials for appearing today. I echo what the Chairman said in his opening remarks as I have always enjoyed our exchanges with Mr. Moran at this committee. He has been a transformative Secretary General at the Department of Finance. As he said in his opening statement, today is a good opportunity to look back at the past two years and how the Department has been managed. If we have time, I would also like to look at the medium-term strategy because it is probably the most important document the Department has produced during Mr. Moran's tenure and it merits detailed examination. As this may be Mr. Moran's last appearance before the committee, I invite him to be as open and forthcoming as he would like to be in discussing issues relating to the Department.

Mr. Moran mentioned the Wright report in his opening statement. Was that the first document Mr. Moran picked up when he went into the Department two years ago? Is that where he started?
