Good afternoon, colleagues.
I'd like to get straight to business.
I will remind colleagues that the supplementary estimates were tabled in the House. There were no supplementary estimates that affected anything in the purview of this committee, so this committee will not have any supplementary estimates to review.
In this first hour of our second meeting on the study of PIPEDA, we are pleased to have, from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, the Privacy Commissioner himself, Mr. Daniel Therrien. With him is Patricia Kosseim, senior general counsel and director general, legal services, policy, research and technology analysis branch.
Does that all fit on a business card? Actually, I shouldn't ask you questions like that.
We have Brent Homan here, as well. He is the director general of Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act investigations. He's the top guy for PIPEDA.
Mr. Therrien, perhaps you could enlighten us with your opening remarks. Then we'll get in as many questions as we possibly can in the first hour.
We thank you once again for appearing before the committee.
