I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone.
This is our 24th meeting of the committee. This is our third or fourth meeting on our study of the Privacy Act. We are thrilled to have some high-calibre witnesses with us again today.
We have Colin Bennett, professor with the department of political science at the University of Victoria, and Michel Drapeau, professor with the faculty of common law at the University of Ottawa, who is no stranger to testimony here on the Hill.
From the Canadian Bar Association, we have Gary Dickson and Kellie Krake.
Welcome to all. We cannot wait to hear what you have to say. We'll have 10 minutes from each organization or individual. We have simultaneous translation, so I ask that you speak slowly, clearly, and articulately in order to have simultaneous translation.
We'll begin with you, Mr. Bennett, for up to 10 minutes, please.
