I call this meeting to order. It's in public.
We're discussing Bill S-202. The witnesses present on the bill are the two sponsors of the bill. From the House of Commons, it's MP John Aldag. From the Senate, it's the former senator the Honourable Patricia Bovey.
I would like us to start the meeting on time so we have a chance to ask questions. Otherwise, we'll be cutting it really fine.
As per usual, the witnesses are going to have 10 minutes to present and then we'll open it up to questions.
You may begin, Mr. Aldag. Welcome to the committee.
