Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
We’re going to begin our 58th meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. We are in the middle of a study on the efficacy of public-private partnerships.
We’re very pleased today to have two witnesses, one in person and one by teleconference. In person we have with us Mr. James Paul, who is the president and CEO of Defence Construction Canada.
We’re very interested to hear what you have to say, Mr. Paul, if you would take five or ten minutes for an opening comment, and then we’ll open the floor to questions.
The floor is yours, Mr. Paul.
