I now declare this 89th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts in order.
I first welcome Mr. Van Kesteren and Mr. Shory, who have joined us today. Welcome, gentlemen. I hope you enjoy your time with us.
Colleagues, you will recall that at the last meeting we agreed that if we did a full rotation of questions, there would be time remaining. We've already had a discussion and agreed that we will continue the rotation until the full two hours have expired, at which time we will adjourn. Is there anybody who has a problem with that?
Good. Hearing none, thank you.
We will now turn our attention to the spring 2013 report of the Auditor General of Canada. Colleagues, we'll proceed in the usual fashion. We'll ask the Auditor General to make an opening statement and then I will turn to the usual rotation list for speaking assignments. Again, does anybody have a problem with where we are and where we're about to proceed?
Hearing, none, welcome, Mr. Auditor General. I would now give you the floor and an opportunity to introduce your delegation and present your report and opening remarks.
Sir, you have the floor now.
