Thank you very much, Mr. Christopherson.
I would also say that any member of Parliament, if they are an associate member, can attend these committees. The parliamentary secretary is welcome to attend, but her input will be limited in that capacity when there is a full contingent of people here.
It is a point of order. I don't want to dwell on it. We have guests here today. We'll just carry on, but we do welcome all members here for this.
We'll begin with the Auditor General of Canada's opening statement, please.
Welcome.
