I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 146 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
As a reminder for everyone in the room today, keep your headsets away from your microphones so we can protect the hearing of our very valued interpreters.
We welcome Ms. Paquette and Mr. Lawrence-Whyte from PSPC. One of you has an opening statement for five minutes.
Go ahead, Ms. Paquette.
