Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses from the department for joining us.

I requested to sit on the OGGO committee to look at improving the operations of government and finding efficiencies. The work you're doing here of reviewing procurement is ultimately to find those efficiencies.

My understanding is that this report was a routine audit conducted under the approved 2023 to 2025 risk-based audit plan of Global Affairs Canada. Can you explain how the plan was developed and approved?
