I'd like to call the meeting to order. I want to extend to witnesses, members, and guests a very warm welcome. Bienvenue.
Before we call upon the Auditor General, I just want to relate this to the committee. We passed a motion about our meeting on May 26. I just want to let you know the outcome.
I think everything's resolved reasonably satisfactorily--without too much difficulty, I should point out--although we have to split the meeting somewhat. The clerk and I are recommending the following.
On May 26 we have the national security intelligence. We had five or six witnesses, and we were having extreme difficulty getting any communication. That's been resolved. We have confirmed all the witnesses coming that day, with the exception of the Commissioner of the RCMP. We're going to hear him for the first 30 minutes on May 28.
So we can have the meeting. It's not a perfect answer, but we did have five senior officials, and once you start moving it, that becomes difficult. That's what the resolution is.
Yes, Mr. Christopherson.
