I call to order this meeting of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. This is meeting 155.
This is the last of our international grand committee meetings this week, the International Grand Committee on Big Data, Privacy and Democracy.
With us today from Amazon, we have Mark Ryland, director of security engineering, office of the chief information officer of the Amazon web services.
From Microsoft Canada Inc., we have Marlene Floyd, national director of corporate affairs, and John Weigelt, national technology officer.
From the Mozilla Foundation, we have Alan Davidson, vice-president of global policy, trust and security.
From Apple Inc., we have Erik Neuenschwander. He is manager of user privacy.
We're going to get into your testimony. I wanted to say that the CEOs were invited today, and it's unfortunate that they didn't come. Again, as I've said to many of you just prior to the meeting, this is supposed to be a constructive meeting on how to make it better, and some of the proposals that your companies have right from the top are good ones, and that's why we wanted to hear them today and have the CEOs answer our questions, but we do appreciate that you're here.
We'll start off with Mr. Ryland for 10 minutes.
