I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, colleagues.
We are at our 40th meeting of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. We are resuming our study of the Security of Canada Information Sharing Act, otherwise known as SCISA.
We are delighted to have witnesses with us today, from the Office of the Communications Security Establishment Commissioner, Mr. Jean-Pierre Plouffe, who is commissioner. With him is Mr. J. William Galbraith, the executive director. From the Security Intelligence Review Committee, we have Pierre Blais, who is the chair, and Ms. Chantelle Bowers, who is the deputy executive director. From the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, we have Mr. Richard Evans, who is the senior director of operations, and Ms. Joanne Gibb, acting director, research, policy and strategic investigations unit.
Welcome, all, and thank you very much for being here today.
I'm sure none of you are rookies at appearing before a committee, so you know exactly what's going to happen. The translation devices are there. The committee's routine proceedings and standing orders allow for 10-minute presentations from each group. How you want to use that time is up to you. If only one person wants to do all of the talking, that's fine. Then we'll proceed to several rounds of questions and answers. We'll encourage you to be as insightful as possible, but as succinct as possible at the same time. I appreciate you all being here this morning.
We will start with the Office of the Communications Security Establishment Commissioner.
The floor is yours, Mr. Plouffe.
