Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. We will call the meeting to order.
We will ask those with TV cameras and microphones to leave the room, and the other journalists are welcome to stay.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. We're convened today pursuant to Standing Order 111.1(1) to examine the certificate of nomination of Daniel Therrien to the position of Privacy Commissioner, referred to the committee Wednesday, May 28, 2014.
We welcome Mr. Therrien.
Congratulations, Sir. We would ask you to make briefing opening remarks. We have very limited time today to spend with you, so we would ask you to keep your remarks to five minutes or so, and then we'll be opening the floor to questions from committee members.
Welcome, Sir. You have the floor.
