Public Accounts committee  I will try to recall with as much precision as I can for you, sir. I would begin by saying, though, that it is a policy of our firm, when we go into any client engagement, to do the best we can and to wow our clients.

Public Accounts committee  I do. Thank you.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman and honourable members of the committee, mesdames et messieurs, I welcome the opportunity to speak with you today. My name is Hugh MacPhie, and I'm here today representing MacPhie & Company. Our firm was honoured to serve the government and proud of the work we delivered through the engagements with the Department of Finance that we had, and especially the 2007 federal budget.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll carry on. MacPhie & Company is a professional services firm that specializes in strategic planning and communications. Yes, our firm is small, but we compensate for what we don't have in the number of staff members through the talents of the professionals on our team and through the passion for our client engagements.
