I call the meeting to order and extend to everyone here a very warm welcome. This meeting, colleagues, of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics has been called pursuant to the Standing Orders. We're very pleased to have with us today Ms. Mary Dawson from the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. She of course is the commissioner.
She is accompanied by Lyne Robinson-Dalpé, the assistant commissioner, and Nancy Bélanger, general counsel. On behalf of all members of the committee, I want to welcome all three of you.
I propose that this part of the meeting go until 5:15, and then we'll spend the last 15 minutes dealing with the minutes of the steering committee, which have been circulated.
I'm going to start with you, Ms. Dawson. I understand you have some opening comments, so I will turn the floor over to you.
