I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 134 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
It's nice to see everyone, and everyone's summer whites—an ode to the Olympics—and other colourful backdrops.
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.
I'd like to ask all members and other in-person participants to consult the cards on the table for guidelines to prevent audio feedback incidents.
Please take note of the preventative measures in place to protect the health and safety of all participants, including the interpreters.
Remember, colleagues, to only use the black approved earpiece. The former gray earpieces must no longer be used. Please remember to keep the earpiece away from all microphones at all times. When you are not using the earpiece, place it face down on the sticker, either to your left or to your right, which is there to ensure it is a safe distance away.
I remind you that all committee comments should be addressed through the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(g), the committee is resuming consideration of Report 1 of the 2024 Reports of the Auditor General of Canada, entitled “ArriveCAN”, which was referred to the committee on Monday, February 12, 2024.
I'd like to welcome our witness. Appearing as an individual is Ms. Diane Daly.
Colleagues, Ms. Daly will be offering us some personal and I think even, at times, difficult testimony today. It is my intention to have a smooth meeting. I do plan to take a break after the second round, approximately one hour into the meeting, for about 10 minutes.
Without further ado, Ms. Daly, you have the floor, please.
