John Baird at the Government Operations and Estimates Committee

I'm very pleased to be with you this morning to hear any concerns and to answer any questions and take any issues back to the secretariat and to my colleagues.

I'm joined by much of the senior management team here today. We also have additional officials behind me, should there be any more specific questions on a specific area.

I can tell you we take our responsibilities, as one of the key central agencies, very seriously. We're obviously here to provide accountability in terms of how tax dollars are spent, and I look forward to the opportunity to hear the concerns of members and answer their questions.
