Public Accounts Committee — Department of Natural Resources, Forestry and Agrifoods Agency. Normally how we begin is that we have the people who are here introduce themselves. Because there is a record being made, a Hansard record, it is important when people speak to identify who the speaker is. That way it makes it easier for the person who is preparing the transcript at a later date. Ordinarily we begin with people introducing themselves so we know who is here. The Auditor General and the Committee members and the Clerk have been here all week, so we know who is here, but we have new individuals this morning. Generally, the process that we follow is we have members from the Committee ask questions and request explanations and so on in approximately ten-minute intervals, and we alternate back and forth. Usually we take a break around 10:30 a.m. How that works out is that generally every member has had an opportunity to ask questions, at least in the morning half and in the afternoon half. Ordinarily we would go through to roughly around 10:30 a.m., and we would break for lunch around 12:30 p.m. or so. Then we will see how much time is required. I suppose I ought to have introduced myself. My name is Jim Bennett and I am Chair of the Public Accounts Committee. Next, I am going to go to Mr. Paddon. MR. PADDON: I am Terry Paddon.
