I call this meeting to order.
Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to meeting number 100 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
Do we have a cake, Clerk? It's number 100. It's a milestone meeting.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
This is a reminder that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(g), the committee is resuming its study of 2023 Report 1 of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development, entitled "Forests and Climate Change", referred to the committee on Thursday, April 20, 2023.
Before I begin, as you are all aware, the bells are going to ring at 5:15 for a 5:45 vote. As I've done in the past, I'm going to seek unanimous consent so that we sit until 5:30 and then vote at 5:45. Doing so will give us more time with the witnesses.
I only need a couple of minutes for some business at the back end. If I have unanimous consent, I'll move the committee business by about 10 minutes to 5:20 to give you guys more time with all our witnesses. As you can see, we have a full house today.
Do I have UC from members to run this meeting until 5:30?
Yes, Ms. Khalid.
