I call this 40th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts to order.
Colleagues, you'll know that we're here today to formally receive the fall report of the Auditor General. Prior to commencing that, I remind members that our next meeting will be on Tuesday, December 2, when we will be doing committee business. Also, I'd like to advise you that it's my intent, schedule permitting, to table the draft report, which we just concluded at our last meeting, on Monday afternoon.
Unless anybody else has matters that must come before this committee, I will turn our attention to the matter at hand.
Seeing none, we will do just that.
Welcome, Mr. Ferguson. It's nice to have you here again, sir. I will give you the floor in a moment to give you an opportunity to make your opening remarks. I will also leave it to you to introduce your august delegation.
With that, sir, I will turn the floor formally over to you for your opening remarks.
