I will now call the meeting back to order.
On behalf of all members of the committee, I want to extend a very warm welcome to some very distinguished visitors we have from various countries in Africa and the Caribbean. To conduct a formal introduction, I'm going to turn the floor over now to Mr. Ron Thompson. Ron is the chair of the Canadian Comprehensive Auditing Foundation, and that is the organization that is organizing this trip of the auditors general.
Mr. Thompson, the floor is yours.
