I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 78 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, also known as “the mighty OGGO, the only committee that matters”.
Pursuant to the motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, September 28, 2023, the committee is meeting on the study of the replacement of the CP-140 Aurora by the Boeing P-8 Poseidon.
Just a reminder, as always, colleagues, please do not to put earpieces next to the microphone, as it causes feedback and potential injury.
I understand we have opening statements today.
We have Mr. Bill Matthews back with us again, and Mr. Page, and then Ms. Gregory. We'll go in that order.
Mr. Matthews, welcome back. The floor is yours for five minutes.
