I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 151 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, widely known, of course, as the mighty OGGO.
Before we start, I'll give a gentle reminder to everyone to please keep your headphones away from your mics. Do not touch the mic handle, so we can protect the valued hearing of our even more valued interpreters.
We will start right off.
Welcome, Minister. I don't think I've seen you before in OGGO, so welcome to your first appearance. We'll turn the floor over to you for a five-minute opening statement.
