I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone. It's 8:45 a.m., and this is my first opportunity to chair this meeting. I want to welcome everybody here.
For the first order of business, as committee members will see, we have the four commissioners at the table. Your subcommittee met a little over a week ago to determine a path forward, and part of that path forward was to meet with the four commissioners in our first committee meeting, to hear from them and to find a work plan going forward based on recommendations from them and discussions that we're going to have today.
Before we proceed, I need to have a motion from someone at the table that we adopt the first report of the subcommittee so that we can get to our witnesses.
Mr. Long so moves.
(Motion agreed to)
It is unanimous. That is great news.
Welcome. At the table today, the Commissioner of Lobbying, Ms. Shepherd, is here. Mr. Therrien, who is the Privacy Commissioner, is here. The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, Ms. Dawson, is here, and we have Suzanne Legault, who I believe has asked to go last.
As a Conservative I always go from the left to the right, so we'll go from my left toward the right, and things will get more interesting, I'm sure.
Ms. Shepherd, you have up to 10 minutes. We'll move in that direction, and then we'll go to the rounds of questioning.
