I call the meeting to order.
Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome back to OGGO. This is meeting number 30 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
We have one witness today for our first hour. He will be appearing virtually.
We are having a bit of an IT issue. I would ask everyone to please speak slowly so that we can have proper interpretation. We'll do this for an hour.
At the end of the second hour, I have a couple of items of business regarding witnesses and budgets, so I need about two minutes at the very end just to go over a couple of items with everyone.
We'll now welcome our guest, Mr. El-Daher.
You have five minutes for an opening statement. Please go ahead, sir.
