I call this meeting to order.
Welcome, everyone, to meeting 47 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, a.k.a. the mighty OGGO.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(4), the committee is meeting to consider the request by four members of the committee to undertake a study of contracts awarded to McKinsey & Company.
Today’s meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of Thursday, June 23, 2022. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
I see Ms. Kusie has her hand up already, but before we get started, I want to make a couple of notes.
First of all, we have a brand new clerk. I want to recognize the great work that Paul Cardegna did with us in the past.
Thank you, Paul. I know you are probably watching.
We have a brand new clerk. She is not in the room today. She is doing Zoom, because she is under the weather. She is Aimée Belmore, and she'll be joining us at her very first official meeting.
Welcome, Aimée, to the only committee that matters.
Also today, we're welcoming back Mr. Green, an OGGO alumnus who is filling in for Mr. Johns, who is out of the country.
With that, we will get started.
Ms. Kusie, I notice you have your hand up.
