Order.
Colleagues, while Paul is handing out the last of the speaking notes, I would like to welcome everyone here. The meeting is now in public.
We have before us representatives from the Public Service Commission and the Treasury Board Secretariat, who will be providing a briefing to committee members on the challenges the federal government and the public service may be facing on the recruitment, hiring, and perhaps even retention of public service employees, particularly younger employees, because we do have an aging population not only in the general populace but also in our public service. This may be a very timely discussion.
I understand, Mr. Borbey, that you will be going first. I would ask you to please introduce your colleagues and make your opening statements. You will be followed by Mr. Trottier.
If you can keep your comments to about 10 minutes or less, that will allow committee members much more time to pose questions to all of you. Thank you again for being here.
Mr. Borbey, the floor is yours.
