Good afternoon. I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 122 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
There are just four of us in the room, but for the benefit of our witnesses today, we have some new rules about our audio. Please keep your earpiece away from the microphone. There's a sticker on your desk for you to leave it on if you're not using it. Please be aware of that. These measures are, of course, to protect our very valued interpreters.
We'll start with an opening statement from Ms. Carruthers.
Please go ahead. The floor is yours.
