Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to the meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. Today we will be dealing with the main estimates and the reports on plans and priorities of the Privy Council Office.
We're pleased to welcome to our committee, if not a regular and frequent guest, at least an annual guest, Michelle Doucet, chief financial officer. With her is Karen Cahill, deputy chief financial officer.
You are very welcome, Ms. Doucet. Please take your time to give us your opening remarks. We'll go to questions after that.
