Thank you, Madam Chair.
Welcome, Mr. Powell. We're glad to have you here, actually. It is very important that all departments of government have a sense of accountability and transparency. So if there is a situation where there is either some ambiguity or a lack of clarity, I think we all have a responsibility to ascertain the direction of the government.
I have just a couple of questions.
On this particular issue, we had, of course, the deputy minister and a number of his staff at this committee previously. Have you had a chance to review the testimony they gave?
