Good morning. Welcome, everybody, to meeting number two of the ongoing statutory review of the Lobbying Act.
I want to welcome our witnesses.
Before we proceed, I want to advise the committee that the commissioner has confirmed that she is available to come for the second hour on Thursday, February 16, which is what we had agreed to. We have not yet been able to confirm an appearance by the minister. We have proposed three dates, and at this point the minister is not available on any of those dates and has not come back with an alternative date.
As usual, we will start with our witnesses. Each of our witnesses will have ten minutes to present.
Mr. Andrews?
