Welcome, colleagues. Thank you for your good humour in response to the shenanigans in the House right now.
To our witnesses, thank you very much for your patience. Democracy isn't always neat and tidy. Sometimes it's messy, but it's still the best system we have.
We have a little over an hour. We'll probably have to leave here at around 5:15, unless we have unanimous consent to carry on through the projected bells that will sound at about that time. If we hear from each of our individual witnesses today, it should take us up to about 40 minutes. An additional 30 minutes to get through the first round of questions is probably all we'll get, unless we make a different decision at that point in time.
Without further ado, we are in our 52nd meeting. We're still studying the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, or PIPEDA.
Joining us today is Micheal Vonn, a policy director. Micheal, welcome back to the committee. It's good to see you again.
As an individual we have Michael Geist, who is no stranger to this committee. We welcome you back, Michael.
As individuals we have David Fraser, also no stranger to the committee, and Colin Bennett. Thank you very much for joining us.
The order in which I introduced you will be the one in which the presentations will be made, if that's all right.
Yes, Mr. Kelly.
