I think everybody is here, so I'll call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 42 of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage.
Before we begin, I'll ask all in-person participants to read the guidelines written on the updated cards on the table. They are the measures in place to prevent audio feedback incidents and protect the health and safety of all participants, especially our interpreters. You'll notice there's a QR code on the card; it links to a short awareness video.
Pursuant to the routine motion adopted by the committee, I can confirm that all witnesses have completed the required connection tests in advance of this meeting if they're joining us online.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before you speak. All comments should be addressed through the chair.
Before I go any further, I think we have a birthday among us today.
Mr. Waugh, is it 30 again?
