David Christopherson at the Public Accounts Committee

I declare this 15th meeting of the public accounts committee now in order.

Colleagues, we are here to study the “Public Accounts of Canada 2015”. As per our procedure, we have before us our Auditor General, Mr. Ferguson, as well as Mr. Matthews, the comptroller general of Canada.

My understanding is that both of you have opening remarks.

With that, I will turn the floor over to our Auditor General, Mr. Ferguson.

You now have the floor, sir.
