Today we are very pleased to have appearing before us Mr. Michael Ferguson, the Auditor General of Canada. Welcome.
He is accompanied by Jerome Berthelette, assistant auditor general, and by Nancy Cheng, assistant auditor general. Appearing as well are Mr. Martin Dompierre and Glenn Wheeler, principals with the Auditor General's office.
