I call this meeting to order.
Colleagues, good afternoon. Welcome to meeting number 73 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
Pursuant to the order of reference adopted by the House on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, the committee is meeting for clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-290, an act to amend the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act.
Colleagues, I'll remind you that, when you're speaking, make sure you keep the earpiece away from the mike to avoid feedback for our valued translators.
Last meeting, I mentioned we had to address the issue of the nominee for the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner. If we have consent, I'm going to propose that we meet with the nominee on Wednesday for a five-minute opening statement, and then one six-minute round with each department.
Are we good with that, colleagues?
