I'd like to call the meeting to order. Bienvenue à tous.
Colleagues, this meeting is called pursuant to the Standing Orders to deal with the 2009 status report of the Auditor General of Canada and the status report of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development. The committee is very pleased to have before us this afternoon the Auditor General, Sheila Fraser. She's accompanied by assistant auditors general Richard Flageole and Hugh McRoberts, and we have the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, Mr. Scott Vaughan.
On behalf of all members of the committee, I want to welcome each of you.
Today we're going to deal with the five chapters that were tabled on Tuesday of this week, March 31, from the Office of the Auditor General. The members may wish to deal with the two chapters tabled by the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development. Welcome.
I'm going to ask both the Auditor General and Mr. Vaughan to start, if they wish, with their opening comments.
Ms. Fraser.
