Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
I'd like to call the meeting to order. This is the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics, meeting number 10. The orders of the day are, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), for a study on issues related to the alleged disclosure of the names of access to information applicants.
We have three witnesses today, who are listed for you. We have David Gollob, who is vice-president of public affairs of the Canadian Newspaper Association. We have Ken Rubin, who is a Hill Times guy, a famous guy. I don't mean to be flippant, sir. We respect what you do; you are a journalist or reporter with The Hill Times and on other issues. We have Colonel Michel Drapeau, who is a lawyer.
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
We'll have each of you spend up to ten minutes in a presentation of your comments, in the order I just listed you—you've all been present and you all know how the game is played here—and then we will proceed with questions and comments from members of the committee.
Good afternoon to you, Mr. Gollob. We will start with you.
