Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the public accounts committee. This is meeting number 97 of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts. It's Tuesday, May 8, 2018. I would remind our committee that we are being televised.
Before we begin, I would like to mention that with us today is Delphine Bert, an analyst and clerk in the French Senate. She is visiting a number of our committees.
Welcome to our committee. We trust that you will have a really good time while you're here in Canada.
Today we are here to consider the special examination report of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, of the fall 2017 reports of the Auditor General of Canada.
I welcome the following witnesses:
From the Office of the Auditor General, we have Clyde MacLellan, assistant auditor general; and Patrick Polan, director.
From Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, we have Claude Lajeunesse, chair of the board of directors; and Richard Sexton, president and chief executive officer.
I will begin with Mr. MacLellan. We will hear from the Office of the Auditor General, and then we'll go to our other guests. Then we'll get into the rounds of questioning.
