I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, colleagues. Welcome to meeting number 13 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
We are doing just one hour today because of the budget. We're going to get right to it.
We have four opening statements.
Before we start, to those of you who are online, I'll introduce you after the people here in person give their opening statements.
Colleagues, because there are four witnesses, half here and half by video conference, when you're asking a question, please state directly who the question is for so that we don't have our in-house witnesses talking over our virtual witnesses or vice versa.
We'll start with Mr. St-Amour, please, for five minutes. We're short on time, so please keep to the time allotted and save me from cutting you off.
Go ahead, sir.
