Order, please. We will begin the 68th meeting of our committee. As you can see on the agenda, we are receiving two representatives from the Government Relations Institute of Canada during the first hour. Joining us are Mr. Patrick, the institute's president, and Mr. Thurlow, the chair of the Legislative Affairs Committee. We are continuing our statutory review of the Conflict of Interest Act.
Gentlemen, thank you for joining us. You have 10 minutes to make your presentation. We will then have a question and answer period, which will last about 50 minutes.
Without further ado, I will yield the floor to Mr. Patrick.
