Good afternoon, everyone.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 154 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 in order to protect the health and safety of all participants, including and especially our interpreters. I have a kind reminder to all those here in person as well as online. For the safety of our interpreters, it is very important that your microphone is muted when you're not speaking.
Thank you in advance for your co-operation.
I'll 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, 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 and joining us online, virtually, Mr. Andrew Noseworthy.
Mr. Noseworthy, you have up to five minutes for an opening statement, if you'd like. The floor is yours.
