I will now reconvene the 96th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts and welcome our guests.
Prior to jumping in I would advise everyone that our first hour was in camera, where we were hosting a delegation from Guyana as we shared best practices in terms of public accounts procedures and oversights. They are here still with us to witness one of our regular hearings.
Again, I welcome our guests and friends from Guyana.
With that I would now move to the matter at hand and would look to Monsieur Ricard, who is the assistant auditor general, acting on behalf of the Auditor General today. I will ask you to introduce your delegation and to read your opening remarks, please.
