I call the meeting to order.
We're continuing our study of the procurement process, including the tendering process and the establishment of capability requirements. Today we're pleased to have before us the Honourable Michael Fortier, Minister of Public Works and Government Services.
Sir, I'll let you introduce your support people here. As usual, we'll turn it over to you for your opening comments, and then we'll start with a round of questions.
The floor is yours.
