Wonderful.
We'll start. This is a very quick welcome to meeting 111 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(c), the committee is meeting to commence consideration of the supplementary estimates (C), 2023-24. We have votes 1c and 5c under PSPC, vote 1c under the PCO, vote 1c under Shared Services and votes 1c, 15c, 20c and 30c under the TBS.
Keep your earphones away from the microphones. It causes feedback and potential injury.
We are very short on time.
We're going to turn things over immediately for an opening statement from the minister. I think we'll probably just have one opening round of about four minutes before we lose the minister.
Minister Duclos, welcome back. Please, go ahead, sir.
