I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 52 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, or, as I like to call it, the mighty OGGO.
Pursuant to the motion adopted by the committee on Wednesday, January 18, 2022, the committee is meeting on the study of federal government consulting contracts awarded to McKinsey & Company.
In accordance with our routine motion, I am informing the committee that all witnesses appearing by video conference have completed the required connection tests in advance of the meeting.
Each of our three witnesses will have a five-minute opening statement. We'll start with a friend to this committee, Mr. Hutton.
Welcome back. Go ahead for five minutes, please.
