I call this 11th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts to order.
Colleagues, you'll note today that by decision of this committee we are holding a hearing on chapter 5, “Preventing Illegal Entry Into Canada”, of the fall 2013 report of the Auditor General of Canada.
To start, let me first welcome Mr. Van Kesteren who is here replacing Mr. Shipley. Welcome, sir, I hope you enjoy your time here.
