I now call this meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to meeting number 155 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 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, and to protect the health and safety of all participants, including our interpreters. I kindly remind all those in person and online that, for the safety of our interpreters, it is very important that your microphone is muted when you are not speaking.
I thank you all for your co‑operation.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(g), the committee is resuming consideration of the 2024 reports 8 to 12 of the Auditor General of Canada.
I would like welcome our witnesses from the Office of the Auditor General.
We have Karen Hogan, Auditor General of Canada. Thank you for coming in today and bringing your entire team.
I'll run through them here: Andrew Hayes, deputy auditor general; Mélanie Cabana, principal; Jean Goulet, principal; Sami Hannoush, principal; Gabriel Lombardi, principal; and Nicholas Swales, principal.
Thank you, all, for being here today.
Ms. Hogan, you have the floor for an opening presentation.
