We will reconvene the meeting of our Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
We're very pleased to welcome by teleconference our next witness, from the University of Victoria's school of public administration, Professor David Good.
Welcome, Dr. Good. We are very grateful that you've taken the time to join us today. I'm glad you were able to hear some of our previous witnesses' testimony. Our committee has been undertaking a comprehensive analysis and review of the supply and estimates process with an interest in trying to make it a little easier for us to give the proper oversight and scrutiny that is our obligation and duty as members of Parliament.
We're very glad to have you here today. The normal practice is to allow you 10 or 15 minutes to make an initial presentation, and then committee members from all parties will be looking very much forward to asking you questions for the duration of the hour.
Having said that, Dr. Good, welcome and you have the floor.
