Colleagues, perhaps we could get started. As I mentioned at the outset of this meeting, I need a little time at the end of this meeting for some committee business and we don't want to short shrift the Auditor General in his appearance before us today.
Mr. Ferguson, thank you so much for being here. It's an honour and a pleasure to have you before this committee.
Sir, could I have you introduce those who are with you and then commence with your opening statement.
