Welcome to the 11th meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
We have a number of guests from Shared Services Canada with us today. Before I ask them to introduce themselves and make some opening statements, I would like to tell the members of the committee that I would like to take probably no more than five or ten minutes at the end of the committee for some quick committee business based on some information we received today from the minister responsible for Canada Post. With your agreement, we'll dismiss our witnesses about 10 minutes before the end of the meeting to discuss that item.
As I mentioned earlier, we have with us today representatives from Shared Services Canada.
Mr. Parker, it's good to see you again. Sir, will you kindly introduce who you have with you? Then we'll ask you to start your opening comments followed by two hours of intense questioning, I'm sure, by our members.
