I'd like to call the meeting to order.
The first item of business, as always, shall be asking those with cameras to leave the room.
I want to again extend to everyone here a very warm welcome to today's meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts. Bienvenue.
We have a number of items before we get into the RCMP issue, colleagues. I plan to deal with them first, even before I introduce the RCMP witnesses.
The first item I'd like to deal with very quickly is the minutes of the steering committee held earlier today. Basically, if I may summarize, we've rescheduled the meeting for June 12 and we put in a number of witnesses involving the Great-West Life and Morneau Sobeco issue. We've also included, for the second part of the meeting scheduled for June 13, hearing a report on the follow-up study and recommendations and the follow-up on the discrepancy meeting scheduled for later this week.
Those minutes have been circulated. The chair will entertain a motion for their approval.
Ms. Sgro.
