I call this meeting to order. Good afternoon, everyone.
Welcome to meeting number 54 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, a.k.a. “the mighty OGGO” or the only committee that matters.
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.
We have with us Mr. Mendicino. I understand you have a five-minute opening statement. Welcome to OGGO, sir. You have five minutes.
I'm sorry. Before he starts, colleagues, we are very short of time today. I'm going to be ruthless with our time, so if you could, please watch your clock so that I'm not being rude and interrupting you. Thank you very much.
I'm sorry, Minister. Go ahead for five minutes, please.
