Order, please.
Welcome to the 70th hearing of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
In the context of our review of the Conflict of Interest Act, we welcome Mr. Dodek, who is a professor at the University of Ottawa in the Common Law Section.
As usual, witnesses will have 10 minutes for their presentations, and a question and answer period will follow. This will last about an hour in total. As you may have noted when you read the agenda, we will be hearing other witnesses later.
Without further ado, I will yield the floor to Mr. Dodek so that he can make his presentation.
Mr. Dodek, thank you for being here with us.
