I now declare this 79th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts in session.
Colleagues, you'll know that we are holding a televised hearing today. I would like to ask the indulgence of colleagues. I'm assuming that unless things go completely haywire today, which they always can, but I'm not expecting it, there should be some time at the end of the meeting for us to do some committee business. I would suggest that when we conclude the hearing, we move into committee mode and do some of that business.
Also for today, Mr. Warawa will be joining us in place of Mr. Aspin.
I'm also pleased to advise colleagues that Lindsay McGlashan has returned to us as an analyst and will be with us for the foreseeable future. Welcome back, you did a great job before. We're looking forward to your good work going forward. Thank you.
With that, colleagues, seeing no interventions, we'll move to the hearing. We are holding this hearing on the Fall 2012 Report of the Auditor General, chapter 6, Transfer Payments to the Aerospace Sector—Industry Canada.
With us today we have Mr. Ronnie Campbell, who is the assistant auditor general. Welcome, Ronnie. It's good to have you back with us.
As well, we have Ms. Morgan, who is representing Industry. She's the associate deputy minister.
We'll start with Mr. Campbell.
I'd ask you to introduce your delegation and then present your opening remarks, Mr. Campbell. You have the floor, sir.
