I'm going to call the meeting back to order.
This is the second item we have on the agenda.
First of all, I should inform the members of the committee that we intended, of course, if it was possible, to deal with the Google report this afternoon. However, because of some technical issues, we are not able to do that this afternoon. That will be put back on the agenda, perhaps for half an hour at one of the meetings we have scheduled for next week.
Before I say another word, I'm going to ask all cameras to leave the room, please, at this point in time. Thank you very much.
The next item we have on the committee's agenda is the appearance before the committee of Monsieur Serge Ménard, member of Parliament for Marc-Aurèle-Fortin. Monsieur Ménard has responded to a written request issued by this committee.
I should point out that as a member of Parliament, he is not a compellable witness. There is a very select group of individuals who are not compellable: members of other legislative assemblies, members of Parliament, members of the Senate, judges, and the Governor General.
But he has, of his own volition, accepted our invitation and he's here of his own volition.
We welcome you, Monsieur Ménard. As is the practice of this committee, we'll allow you up to 10 minutes for any opening remarks you may want to make.
The floor is yours.
