Good morning, everyone.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 137 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
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 would 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 keep in mind the preventive measures in place to protect the health and safety of all participants, including interpreters.
Use only the approved, black earpiece. Please keep your earpiece away from the microphones at all times. When you're not using the earpiece, place it face-down on the sticker, either to your left or to your right.
I would remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
