Good afternoon, everyone. We're back in session.
Welcome to meeting number 41 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates.
We're starting off with our buy Canada study. We have one hour with PSPC. After that, we are going to suspend for a few moments and then go over to the Treasury Board.
Mr. Laporte, welcome back. I understand that you have an opening statement for us.
Go ahead. The floor is yours for five minutes.
