Ladies and gentlemen, we'll reconvene our meeting. I hope people have had time to load a plate, and we'll have a working lunch.
We're going to welcome our witnesses for the ongoing study of identity theft and its economic impact.
Today we will be welcoming Mr. Tamir Israel, staff lawyer for the Samuelson-Glushko Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic. Mr. Israel will be here shortly, and we appreciate his being in attendance.
From the Canadian Identity Theft Support Centre we have Mr. James Dorey, the executive director, and Mr. Kevin Scott, the president. They'll be joining us shortly, I'm sure, as well.
Perhaps just to make the best use of what little time we have, Mr. Dorey, we would ask you to begin with your opening remarks on behalf of the Canadian Identity Theft Support Centre. Are you prepared to do that, sir?
