Good morning, colleagues. We will call the meeting back to order.
In the first half-hour we were fortunate enough to have met our new interim Auditor General of Canada in camera. Now we're being televised. If you have a cellphone or any kind of a device that may interrupt the proceedings, I would encourage you all to please set it to mute or silent. That would be great.
We are now reconvened to consider the special examination report, “Report of the Joint Auditors to the Board of Directors of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation”, of the 2018 fall reports of the Auditor General of Canada.
We have with us this morning from the Office of the Auditor General, Lissa Lamarche, assistant auditor general; and Clyde MacLellan, also assistant auditor general. From Ernst and Young, we have Michel Bergeron, managing partner. From Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, we have Derek Ballantyne, chairman of the board, and Evan Siddall, president and chief executive officer.
We welcome you all here. We will turn to the Auditor General's office first.
Mr. MacLellan.
