I call the meeting to order.
I would like to welcome you all to the 28th meeting of the Special Joint Committee on the Declaration of Emergency, which was established pursuant to the House of Commons order of March 2, 2022 and the Senate order of March 3, 2022.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the orders of the Senate and the House of Commons.
To ensure that all members of the committee can participate fully in the meeting, please inform me of any technical problems so that we can suspend the meeting for a few minutes if necessary.
The committee is meeting this evening to consider its future business.
I should point out that the sound tests were carried out with Mr. Naqvi, who is attending the meeting online. The clerk has confirmed that everything is in order.
We are therefore ready to begin.
Mr. Motz, you have the floor.
