I call the meeting to order.
Good afternoon, colleagues. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), study of the Privacy Act reform, we have witnesses today. We're very pleased to have with us the Honourable Rob Nicholson, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada. He will be able to be with us for approximately one hour, so our questions for the minister should be concentrated in that period. Following the minister's departure, his colleagues from the Department of Justice will be able to remain with us to carry on with our discussion.
Having said that, welcome, Minister. I appreciate your taking the time. If you would like, please introduce your colleagues, and I assume you have a brief opening statement for us as well.
