Good afternoon, everyone.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 151 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, as well as remotely by using the Zoom application.
Before we begin, I ask all in-person participants to read the guidelines written on the updated cards on the tables. These measures are in place to help prevent audio and feedback incidents and to protect the health and safety of all participants, including and especially the interpreters. I kindly remind all those in person and online that, for the safety of your interpreters, it is very important that your microphone is muted when you're not speaking.
Thank you all for your co-operation.
This is a reminder that 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, of the 2024 reports 5 to 7 of the Auditor General of Canada.
I'd like to welcome our witness. Appearing as an individual is Mr. John Knubley, the principal of InnovAction Advisory Services Inc.
Welcome, Mr. Knubley. You're joining us virtually.
Mr. Knubley, you have time for an opening statement of up to five minutes, please. The floor is now yours.
