I call the meeting to order. I want to welcome everyone. Bienvenue à tous.
This meeting is meeting number 49 of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. It's a continuation of our ongoing study into open government.
We do have two witnesses before us this morning, both appearing via telephone conference. But before I get to the witnesses and introduce the witnesses, I want to just follow up on Mr. Easter's motion that was passed by this committee two days ago to call Mr. Nejatian tonight.
Mr. Nejatian was out of the country and wasn't able to come tonight, but with the clerk he agreed to come Monday night. That's Monday, March 21, from 7 to 9. Of course the clerk will send out the appropriate notices in due course.
Mr. Easter, do you have a comment?
