Good morning, colleagues. This is meeting number 143 of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts for Tuesday, June 11, 2019. We will be televised the first part of our meeting.
Actually, we're going to change our agenda a little bit here this morning. Because we are working on some negotiated wordsmithing of the letter we're sending to different departments and ministers, we will go in camera at the beginning and will look, first, at report 5, “Equipping Officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police”, of the 2019 spring reports of the Auditor General of Canada. Second, if time permits we will also look at the committee legacy report, which we began last Thursday.
I'll explain a few things. We'll be in camera. If the three lead critics—from the government, from the official opposition and Mr. Christopherson from the NDP—can work out some kind of a deal, then they may be back fairly soon, within a half an hour or so. If so, we will stay in camera to discuss the proposed letter and then go into public after that for committee business, if needed.
With that, we will suspend and go in camera.
