Good morning to you all and welcome to our witnesses.
I'll be filling in for our chair, Joe Volpe, who is a little under the weather this morning.
Today we'll be studying chapter 4, “Managing Conflict of Interest”, of the 2010 fall report of the Auditor General of Canada.
At the conclusion of our examination and testimony today, we will take a brief period of time to discuss the notice of motion from Madame Faille.
We will call on our witnesses for opening statements. We will first have, from the Office of the Auditor General of Canada, the Auditor General herself, Sheila Fraser. We will then call on Daphne Meredith, the chief human resources officer. Then we will call on Michelle d'Auray, Secretary of the Treasury Board of Canada. Assisting them as well, we have Ronnie Campbell, assistant auditor general, and Tom Wileman, principal. Welcome to you all.
Madam Fraser, would you kick us off with the opening statement, please?
