The Chair NDP Pat Martin

I call the meeting to order.

Welcome to the ninth meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.

Today we are hearing testimony.

We have two witnesses from the Department of Public Works and Government Services: Mr. Pablo Sobrino, the Associate Assistant Deputy Minister of the Acquisitions Branch, and Ms. Shereen Benzvy Miller, the Director General, Acquisitions Branch, Office of Small and Medium Enterprises.

Today we will be looking at the Canadian innovation commercialization program.

I know that witnesses are eager to ask questions, but I understand you'll have opening remarks first.
