This is meeting number 38 of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. Our orders of the day are pursuant to Standing Order 32(5), the annual report of the Privacy Commissioner for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, which was referred to our committee on Tuesday, November 17, 2009.
Colleagues, before I start, I'd like to introduce to you Dara Lithwick, an analyst who will be joining our committee for a while when our colleague Élise takes maternity leave, which will be starting at the appropriate time.
Welcome to you, Dara, and I hope you have an opportunity to help us.
This morning's witnesses, from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner, are Ms. Jennifer Stoddart, the Privacy Commissioner, and Chantal Bernier, the Assistant Privacy Commissioner. They are here to deal with two matters. One is the annual report and related matters. We will be excusing the commissioner after we deal with that part.
The committee also has an agenda item to address the government's response to our report on the quick fixes to the Privacy Act. We will have some discussion about that similar to what we had with regard to our report on the Access to Information Act.
That's just to give the members a heads-up on how we'll proceed.
Good morning, Commissioner and Assistant Commissioner.
