I will call the meeting to order immediately. Welcome to the 33rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
We're very pleased to have with us as our witness today the Minister of Public Works, Ms. Rona Ambrose, and her officials with the Department of Public Works and Government Services, who are helping us to review—after the fact, I suppose—the supplementary estimates (C).
Welcome, Minister. We're very appreciative that you've giving us your time. If you have opening comments, the floor is yours.
