Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We'll call the meeting to order.
This is the Legislative Committee on Bill C-2, the accountability legislation, and meeting number two. The orders of the day are Bill C-2, An Act providing for conflict of interest rules, restrictions on elections financing and measures respecting administrative transparency, oversight and accountability.
Our guests this morning are the Honourable John Baird, President of the Treasury Board, and two representatives from the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat.
What I'm going to do, Minister, and representative from the Department of Justice, is to ask you at the appropriate time to introduce the people who are with you.
So we will proceed.
Minister, you will make, hopefully, a presentation to the committee and then we will have some questions. Minister, good morning.
