Colleagues, we'll get started please. I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 56 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates—as I like to call it, the mighty OGGO: 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 Minister Anand.
I understand that you have an opening five-minute statement. Welcome back, Minister.
Just before you start, I will say for colleagues that we are very short on time. I am going to be very rude in cutting people off exactly at their allotted time today so that we can get to our business and also to the PBO.
Minister, I'm sorry. Please go ahead.
