Good afternoon, everyone. I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 51 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
Pursuant to the motion adopted by the committee on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, the committee is meeting on the study of the federal government consulting contracts awarded to McKinsey & Company.
I understand that we have some online witnesses. I can attest that our clerk has completed the required connection tests in advance of the meeting.
We'll start with an opening statement from the President of the Treasury Board.
Welcome back, Minister. The floor is yours for five minutes.
