Good morning. This is the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics, meeting number 45, on Tuesday May 8, 2007.
The order of the day, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), is a study on the topic of identity theft.
We have before us today, from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Jennifer Stoddart, the Privacy Commissioner; Wayne Watson, who is the director general, investigation and inquiries branch; Carman Baggaley, who is the senior strategic policy analyst; Steve Johnston, who is the senior security and technology adviser; and Lisa Campbell, who is the assistant general counsel.
Commissioner, you have brought quite a force with you today; these are pretty impressive names. We do appreciate that. You're our first group of witnesses on this topic, which the committee thinks is very important. Thank you very much for coming.
Please commence your presentation, and we will allow time for questions from the members of the committee. Thank you very much.
