Welcome, everyone, to this 56th meeting of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
Pursuant to a standing order and our previous motion, we are glad to have with us today representatives from FINTRAC for a briefing session. From the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, we have Mr. Gérald Cossette, director, who has been here before; and Barry MacKillop, deputy director, operations, compliance and intelligence.
Thank you for coming, Barry.
We also have with us Mr. Paul Dubrule, general counsel.
Gentlemen, we thank you very much. We have about an hour to discuss the items that we would like to address. If you would like to start with an opening set of comments—I'm assuming that it's you, Mr. Cossette—we'll then proceed to some questions. Once we're satisfied with that, or if an hour elapses, whichever happens first, we'll be finished with this.
Mr. Cossette, the floor is yours.
