I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 146 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.
Before we begin, I would like to ask all in-person participants to read the guidelines written on the updated cards on the table with respect to the audio system to prevent any feedback incidents. This is to protect the health and safety of all participants, especially our interpreters.
I have a kind reminder for all those in person and online. For your safety and the safety of our interpreters, it is very important that microphones are muted when individuals are not speaking.
All comments should be addressed through the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(g), the committee is resuming consideration of report 6, Sustainable Development Technology Canada, 2024—reports 5 to 7 of the Auditor General of Canada, referred to the committee on June 4, 2024.
I was going to welcome Mr. Cannings to the committee, but he is not here. He is a new member.
We have a substitute today. Welcome.
I'll turn to our witnesses, and we will welcome our new member at a later date.
From the Privy Council Office, we have Donnalyn McClymont, deputy secretary to the cabinet, senior personnel and public service renewal; and Rima Hamoui, assistant secretary to the cabinet, senior personnel.
Ms. McClymont, you have the floor for five minutes, please.
