Good morning, colleagues.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 147 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'd like to ask all in-person participants to read the guidelines written on the updated cards on the table. These measures are in place to help prevent audio and feedback incidents.
I remind all those in person and online that for the safety of interpreters, it is very important that your microphone is muted when you are not speaking.
Thank you all for your co‑operation.
I remind everyone that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(g), the committee is resuming consideration of report 6, entitled “Sustainable Development Technology Canada” from 2024 reports 5 to 7 of the Auditor General of Canada.
I would welcome our witness, but I received a notice last week that there was a conflict. I endeavoured to find out what the conflict was. It was medical in nature. It was not.
I instructed the witness to be here since the witness had confirmed she would be here at 11 o'clock. I am expecting her perhaps by noon, at which point we will take things up again.
Until then, this meeting is suspended.
