I welcome everybody back after the summer recess. It is the first time the witnesses have been back before the committee. As an opening remark, I am here as an elected representative to represent the public and how public moneys are spent. In that regard, the questions I will ask will require "Yes" or "No" answers or very concise answers. I ask the witnesses to bear in mind that I have 15 minutes on the clock and that they respect that and we co-operate with one another.

Yesterday, we got the news that Mr. Richard Collins has resigned. I wish him well. I had a question, but Mr. Bakhurst confirmed it. Mr. Collins did resign.
