I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to the 55th meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3) (g), the committee is meeting today to study reports 1 to 4 of the Auditor General of Canada, published in March 2023 and referred to the committee this Monday, March 27.
Now I would like to welcome our witnesses. From the Office of the Auditor General, we have Karen Hogan, the Auditor General; Carey Agnew, principal; Milan Duvnjak, principal; Susan Gomez, principal; and Sami Hannoush, principal.
Thank you, all, for joining us today. We will have a somewhat modified committee meeting. We're going to hear from the Auditor General with her opening remarks for five minutes or so. Then I'm going to do question rounds of about five or six minutes per member. Of course, it they would like, they could truncate those because then we will turn to rounds of questions for about three minutes until either we exhaust the time or we hit 12:15 p.m.
Ms. Hogan, without further ado, you have the floor for five minutes. Thank you.
