Colleagues, we'll get started. I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 62 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 federal government consulting contracts awarded to McKinsey & Company.
Colleagues, to start off, I apologize. There is a bit of a change to the original schedule. Ms. Bonin will be sharing the beginning time with Mr. Wernick. We will not be splitting the time into one hour and one hour. We will have two opening statements.
We'll start with Mr. Wernick, please, for five minutes.
