I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 63 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee is meeting today to begin its study on the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses.
From the Canada Revenue Agency, we have Bob Hamilton, commissioner of revenue and chief executive officer. It's good to see you again, sir.
We also have Geoff Trueman, assistant commissioner, legislative policy and regulatory affairs branch, and Sharmila Khare, director general, charities directorate, legislative policy and regulatory affairs branch.
Ms. Khare, I understand that you're hoping to be excused at five o'clock to catch a train. I think I'm prepared to grant that, given you're all from the same entity, provided that your two colleagues are willing to step in if that should be necessary.
Mr. Hamilton, you have the floor for five minutes. I'll let you begin, please. It's over to you.
