I call this meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to meeting number 145 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 by using the Zoom application.
Before we begin, I'd like to ask all in-person participants to read the guidelines written on the updated cards on the table with respect to the sound system. These measures are in place to help prevent audio and feedback incidents and to help protect the health and safety of all participants, including and especially our interpreters.
I'll remind all those appearing in person and online that for the safety of our interpreters, it is very important that your microphones be muted when you're not speaking.
Thank you for your co‑operation.
I remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(g), the committee is resuming consideration of Report 6 of the Auditor General of Canada, entitled “Sustainable Development Technology Canada”, from 2024 reports 5 to 7.
Before I introduce our witnesses, I understand Mr. Erskine-Smith would like the floor for just a few minutes.
It's over to you.
