I call this 59th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts to order.
Colleagues, I have no particular business to bring to your attention before we move to the matter at hand, other than to confirm that on Monday, May 25, we have been able to secure our witnesses for the study of chapter 3 on tax-based expenditures. I can also confirm a hearing on the 27th on chapter 5, as directed and requested by the committee.
Today, we will be studying chapter 2, required reporting by federal organizations of the 2015 report of the Auditor General of Canada, referred to this committee on Tuesday, April 28, 2015.
I note that Ms. Cheng is here with us today in the capacity as the acting Auditor General.
Ms. Cheng, please introduce your delegation and give us your opening remarks.
