I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting No. 65 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, February 14, 2023, the committee meets to discuss on its study on the role of McKinsey & Company in the creation and the beginnings of the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House Order of Thursday, June 23, 2022. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
I'll introduce the witnesses. Then, I believe I will turn it over to Dr. Lewis who has a point of order.
We will begin with, from the Canada Infrastructure Bank, Ehren Cory, chief executive officer; and Frédéric Duguay, general counsel and corporate secretary. Welcome. From the Canadian Union of Public Employees, we welcome Diane Therrien, senior research officer, joining us by video conference.
We are currently in the process of trying to connect with Jennifer Carr, Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, by video conference. We hope to be able to do that shortly.
With that, I will turn it over to Dr. Lewis for the remarks that she would like to share.
