Thank you very much.
For all of you who are participating virtually, interpretation services are available for this meeting. You do have the choice at the bottom of your screen of the floor, English or French. Before speaking, click on the microphone icon to activate your own mike. When you are done speaking, please put your mike on mute to minimize any interference.
When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, the use of headsets with a boom microphone is mandatory for everyone participating remotely. Should any technical challenges arise, please do advise me and note that we may need to suspend for a few minutes as we need to ensure that all members are able to participate fully.
I'd now like to welcome our witnesses this morning. Joining us today from the Office of the Auditor General are Karen Hogan, Auditor General of Canada; Carol McCalla, principal; Chantal Richard, principal; Sarah McDermott, director; and Francis Michaud, director.
From the Canada Border Services Agency, we have John Ossowski, president; and Denis Vinette, vice-president, travellers branch.
From the Public Health Agency of Canada, we have Iain Stewart, president; and Cindy Evans, vice-president, emergency management branch.
With that, welcome, all. I will turn the floor over to Ms. Hogan for five minutes.
