I call this meeting to order.
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to meeting number 58 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, or, as our chair regularly calls it, “the mighty OGGO”.
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.
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 by using the Zoom application.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of the witnesses and members.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. I remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
I believe the clerk has checked the sound and we are all clear to go.
On that note, I'd like to welcome our first and only witness. From the Union of National Defence Employees, we have Madam June Winger, national president.
You have five minutes, Madam President. The floor is yours.
