I call the meeting to order.
Good afternoon, colleagues. This is meeting number 123 of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts for Monday, December 10, 2018.
Today we are in public and we are being televised. I would encourage those of you in the audience and around the table today who have a cellphone or any kind of communication device to please mute it or put it on vibrate.
We're here today in consideration of “Report 7—Compliance Activities—Canada Revenue Agency”, from the 2018 fall reports of the Auditor General of Canada. We're honoured to have with us again today, from the Office of the Auditor General, Mr. Jerome Berthelette, assistant auditor general of Canada, and Mr. Martin Dompierre, principal.
From the Canada Revenue Agency, we have Mr. Bob Hamilton, commissioner of revenue and chief executive officer, and Ted Gallivan, assistant commissioner, international, large business and investigations branch.
We welcome you here.
We will turn to Mr. Berthelette at this time for opening statements, and then we'll go into questions.
Thank you.
