We're going to bring the meeting to order.
I want to explain something for the benefit of our witnesses that may seem a little confusing. I'm chairing the meeting today. I'm the second vice-chair, and I'm the only NDP member on this committee, so for the time when an NDP member would normally ask questions of you, I'm going to my seat over there, and we will have another member of the committee sit in the chair. It's going to be a little bit of musical chairs. I want to make sure that everyone understands why that is the case.
Thank you all very much for coming today. We have David Young, the principal at David Young Law; Robert G. Parker, advisory consultant with Risk Masters International Inc.; Ian Kerr, professor and holder of the Canada research chair in ethics, law and technology at the University of Ottawa; and Vincent Gautrais, full professor, director of the Centre de recherche en droit public, Faculty of Law, Université de Montréal.
Thank you all for coming here today. We're starting late, so we'll just jump right in.
Mr. Young, would you like to start with your presentation? We have 10 minutes each for presentations. We'll do all four and then go to questions.
