We can calculate the earliest start and finish times for each activity as follows:
- Activity A: ES = 0, EF = 6
- Activity B: ES = 6, EF = 11
- Activity C: ES = 11, EF = 17
- Activity D: ES = 6, EF = 10
- Activity E: ES = 17, EF = 23
- Activity F: ES = 23, EF = 34
- Activity G: ES = 34, EF = 37

The critical path is the longest path through the network, which is A-B-C-E-F-G with a duration of 37 weeks. Therefore, the minimum expected completion time for the project is 37 weeks.
