Good day, everyone.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 150 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 feedback incidents and 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 the safety of our interpreters, it is important that your microphone be muted when you're not speaking.
Thank you all 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 resumed consideration of the report 1, ArriveCAN, referred to the committee on Monday, February 12, 2024.
