Good morning, everyone. This is meeting number 72 of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts on Thursday, October 19, 2017. I would remind everyone that we are televised today.
In our first hour we will study the Auditor General's special examination report of the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation, of the Spring 2017 Reports of the Auditor General of Canada. We have as witnesses before us today, from the Office of the Auditor General, Clyde MacLellan, assistant auditor general; also Heather McManaman, principal. From the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation, we have David Bevan, chairperson, board of directors; Stan Lazar, interim president; and Wendy Matheson, vice-president, human resources and government services.
We have an opening statement from the Auditor General's office and also from Mr. Bevan of the Freshwater Fish Marketing Corporation. Then we'll have time for questions. We may conclude about five minutes before the time is up as we have some committee business we want to do before we move into the next hour of presentations.
With that I'll turn to Mr. MacLellan. Welcome to the public accounts committee.
