I'd like to call the 28th meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates to order.
We have as our guest this morning Mr. Kevin Page, the Parliamentary Budget Officer. I'll leave Mr. Page to introduce his colleagues.
We've asked Mr. Page to comment on three items. We're going to give him 15 minutes to comment, then we'll open up the questioning to members of the committee.
Welcome, Mr. Page. Once again, it's good to see you. The floor is yours.
