I call to order meeting 12 of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
This afternoon we'll have testimony provided pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) on the study our committee is engaging in on federal buildings maintenance contracts.
Today we have a witness, and we'll provide him an opportunity to provide testimony to the committee. We'll begin and have questioning for the first hour. Then we'll pursue a different study in the second hour.
We have Monsieur Beaulieu before us today. We want to welcome him to our committee. He is a building science consultant, I believe.
We'll turn it over to you to provide testimony now, and we'll follow with questions.
Welcome.
