I call this 69th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts to order.
Colleagues, you will recall that we had agreed today to have a one-hour hearing on chapter 6, Special Examination of Crown Corporations—2011, from the 2012 Spring Report of the Auditor General of Canada. The Auditor General, Mr. Ferguson, is with us today. From the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, we have Mr. Friedman, who is a member of the board of directors and the principal operating officer. Welcome, gentlemen.
Mr. Ferguson, we'll start with you. You can introduce your delegation and then Mr. Friedman will have an opportunity for opening remarks. After that, we'll go in rotation. Colleagues, following this one-hour hearing, we will move in camera and continue the report writing we began at the last meeting. Is everybody in agreement on how we're proceeding? Very good.
Mr. Ferguson, you have the floor.
