Welcome back, colleagues. I appreciate the brief interlude.
We're now resuming our 31st meeting, and pursuant to Standing Order 108 and a whole bunch of subsections, we now have a briefing session with the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. We would like to welcome back to our committee the very well-known Ms. Dawson to discuss with us her plans on the recent extension of her appointment.
Ms. Dawson, please start us off with your opening comments, and then we'll move to questions. Welcome back to the committee.
