We'll now call the meeting to order.
Welcome everyone.
In this meeting, again called pursuant to the Standing Orders, we have three possible items on the agenda, colleagues.
The first item, which we're going to go to immediately, is to hold a hearing on the certificate of nomination of Madam Jennifer Stoddart to the position of Privacy Commissioner. Her mandate has been renewed for an additional three-year period. As is the custom, she has come before the committee on the government nomination for this position for the additional three-year period.
The committee is very pleased to have with us the Privacy Commissioner. She did come here on very short notice and we thank her for that. We're going to ask her now for her opening comments, and then we will go to questions from members of the committee.
Depending on our time, we will then go into the Google study. Then, at 4:30, we're going to have Mr. Serge Ménard with us, the member of Parliament for Marc-Aurèle-Fortin.
Having said that, I now invite you, Madam Stoddart, to give your opening comments.
