Tom Wappel at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

I am calling the meeting to order.

Good afternoon, colleagues. We have a number of witnesses today.

I'll go through the list of witnesses as I have it: Mr. John Gustavson, president and chief executive officer of the Canadian Marketing Association; Wally Hill, vice-president, public affairs and communications, from the same organization; and Barbara Robins, vice-president, legal and regulatory affairs, Reader's Digest. As well, from Federally Regulated Employers--Transportation and Communications, or FETCO, we have Don Brazier, executive director; Edith Cody-Rice, senior legal counsel; and Barbara Mittleman, director.

Welcome, everyone. I presume each organization has an opening statement. We'll have you present first and then we'll go to questions from our committee members.

I guess I'll call on the Canadian Marketing Association to begin.
