Good morning everyone.
We have meeting number 37 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, a.k.a. the mighty OGGO.
Today we have witnesses from the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer. George Martin was famously the fifth Beatle; I think the PBO is the twelfth OGGO member. It's wonderful to have the four of you with us.
Today we have Mr. Yves Giroux, the Parliamentary Budget Officer; Carleigh Busby, adviser-analyst; and Albert Kho, analyst.
Welcome, Albert, to your first OGGO, I think.
We welcome back Mr. Christopher Penney, adviser-analyst.
Mr. Giroux, I believe you have an opening statement.
