Good afternoon, everyone. I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 137 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
As always, I will remind you all to keep your headphones away from your microphones so that we do not cause problems for our very valued interpreters who are helping out today.
Before we get to an opening statement from Mr. Clark, I just want to hand the floor over to Mrs. Vignola for about a minute or so about a very important anniversary.
Go ahead, Mrs. Vignola.
