I call meeting number 8 of the public accounts committee to order.
I would remind colleagues that this meeting is being televised.
Perhaps our guests could wait for one moment. I want to do a little bit of business quickly and then we'll be right with you.
Colleagues, you see the agenda. There are two items. The first one is, of course, the hearing that we're about to conduct. The second item is committee business, which you have in front of you. It's the fourth report of the steering committee, with one amendment that item number 1 would include a notice that a week today that hearing would be held. We had already agreed on that date, and the rest will come as opportunities arise. That was the recommendation. It's the unanimous recommendation of the committee. I certainly will entertain any questions. I'm hoping, though, that we can deal with this fairly quickly.
Maybe Mr. Kramp would move it. Do you want the floor?
