Order. I want to welcome everyone here.
Colleagues, this meeting is called pursuant to a motion made on March 13 of this year that the committee call certain witnesses to review certain select contracts made by the Department of Finance. As I think everyone is now aware, today's meeting will be broken into three segments. In the first segment, which will last one hour, we will hear from the deputy minister, who is also the accounting officer with the Department of Finance, Mr. Rob Wright. Also, we have the Secretary of the Treasury Board, Mr. Wayne Wouters.
Welcome. We understand that each of you has an opening statement. Perhaps we will go to you first, Mr. Wright.
