I call the meeting to order. I want to welcome everyone here. Bienvenue.
This meeting is called pursuant to the Standing Orders, colleagues, to deal with chapter 4, “Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada”, from the May 2007 Report of the Auditor General of Canada.
We're very pleased to have before us today, from the Office of the Auditor General, Andrew Lennox, assistant auditor general. He's accompanied by Mr. Raymond Kunze, director. Representing the Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food, we have Yaprak Baltacioglu, deputy minister; and Nada Semaan, assistant deputy minister, farm financial programs branch.
Before we go any further, did I pronounce your name right, madame? I'm sure I didn't.
