Good morning.
Let us start the 35th meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates right away.
Today, we are fortunate to have with us Mr. Matthews, the Comptroller General of Canada, and Marcia Santiago, Executive Director, Expenditure Management Sector. They are joining us for our study of the supplementary estimates (B) and for the study of the departmental performance reports for 2013-2014.
As usual, I will first let Mr. Matthews make his presentation and then committee members will be able to ask questions on the two points in our agenda.
My sincere thanks to Mr. Matthews for joining us today. He has the floor for 10 to 15 minutes.
Mr. Matthews, the floor is yours.
