I call the meeting to order.
Good afternoon, colleagues and witnesses.
Thank you very much for your patience as we exercise our democratic privileges in the House of Commons in sometimes unforeseen circumstances. I don't think there's anybody at the table who doesn't understand that these things happen from time to time.
Normally I would go through significant formalities at the start of the meeting to introduce you all, but given that we only have about an hour of this meeting left, I think we're going to get straight to it.
This is on the study of the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act, otherwise known as SCISA. We have the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the RCMP, the Canada Border Services Agency, and CSIS here. That will be the order in which your presentations will happen.
We normally allow for up to 10 minutes for presentations. I would encourage you to keep your remarks as brief as possible so that we can get in at least one full round of questioning from the members of the committee.
We'll start with the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.
