Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the 34th meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
We're very pleased today to welcome the President of the Treasury Board, Mr. Tony Clement, to speak to us today about the supplementary estimates (C) as well as the main estimates under Treasury Board.
With him today, I understand, is Michelle d'Auray, secretary of the Treasury Board of Canada; Sally Thornton, executive director of expenditure operations and estimates; and Christine Walker, assistant secretary and chief financial officer.
You seem very well served and your department seems very well represented today, Mr. President.
You have the floor, sir, for as long as you like.
