Good morning, everyone.
Before we start the meeting today, there are a few procedural things I'd like to suggest to members, if they are in agreement.
First of all, this meeting room was supposed to be televised. There's no need for us to televise this meeting, because it's mainly to deal with procedure. If members are okay with it, we'll have the cameras turned off.
Are members in agreement with that? I don't see any objections.
The second thing is that our meeting will terminate at 11 o'clock, given the fact that there's another committee meeting here. I wanted members to be aware of that. I do think we can manage to do things within an hour, at least I'm hoping to, since the only topic at hand is Bill C-288, and there are no witnesses before the committee.
As well, if the members are in agreement, I'd like to have ten minutes given to each individual, so that we don't go over the allotted time of two hours.
If members are in agreement with that, we'll proceed in that fashion. If there are any other questions, concerns, or motions, I'd like to entertain them. Otherwise, who would like to be the first to speak?
