Good afternoon, everyone. I'm going to call the meeting to order, as it is 3:30.
Welcome to the 13th meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
Today we are pleased to welcome one of our favourites, and one of the hardest-working officers of Parliament, the president of the Public Service Commission of Canada, Maria Barrados. Welcome, Madam Barrados. I'll ask you to introduce the guests you have with you, and then make your presentation. We will have questions following that.
Madam Barrados, you have the floor.
