Thank you very much, Mr. Matthews, and thank you to our Auditor General and his department for being here.
I should welcome Mr. Leswick back, from the Department of Finance.
If we do have questions, we have the Treasury Board and Auditor General's office present, as well as the finance department.
We'll move into the first round of questioning.
Thank you for the overview of public accounts. As you mentioned in your briefing, we have had other representations that have gone through the public accounts volumes with us. As new members of Parliament, many would have received last fall a package with these three big volumes, opened it up, and wondered, “Wow, what now?” Thank you for helping us to understand a bit more about them.
We'll go into the first round of questioning.
Mr. Lefebvre, please, for seven minutes.
