I call the meeting to order.
I thank you all for attending today. As you can see, we are in public and we are video-recording today. We are having our study on the review of the conflict of interest code for members.
We have Madam Dawson with us today. Madam Dawson, I will let you go ahead with your opening statement and introduce the folks who are with you. Then we'll have a round of questioning after that.
I do apologize, as I have to leave at about 11:55. Mr. Comartin, the co-chair, has suggested he will take over the chair. When you see it happen, it is not a coup; it is just a friendly replacement for today. I have some constituents in town. That is my version. It may be a coup after I've left the room, of course, but we will wait for that to happen.
