Good afternoon, colleagues.
I call this meeting to order. I'm sorry for the delay. Of course, we had votes.
Welcome to meeting number 84 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, October 17, 2022, the committee is meeting on the study of the ArriveCAN application.
I have a friendly reminder. Do not put earpieces next to the microphone, as it causes feedback and potential injury to our interpreters.
Very quickly, before we start with our opening statements, I have an update on the papers we've asked to be tabled here.
Mr. Firth has been in contact with our committee regarding bank records related to GC Strategies. According to his accountant, because the payments are older, it's going to require one or two extra days to produce the information. We originally planned to have them already, but it's going to be two more days, which I think is acceptable.
On the second order for production of documents, the different versions of the résumés for the two Botler witnesses have been received and are now with translation.
We're going to start with Mr. MacDonald, I understand, for a five-minute opening statement, and then we'll go to Mr. Utano.
Please go ahead, Mr. MacDonald.
