I am pleased to have this special meeting of our standing committee. This is meeting number 64. We are very pleased to have with us today from Rome, Italy, Mr. Giovanni Buttarelli, who is the supervisor and is going to be talking to us about the general data protection regulations of the European Union.
Thank you, sir, for making time for us. As you know, here in Canada we're reviewing the legislation. Of course, it's been brought up by many people here in Canada that, because of the Canada–European Union trade agreement, there are going to be potential issues and also some potential solutions we need to work towards to make sure our respective trading bodies are in alignment. I welcome you to the committee.
I'll remind members to please speak slowly. My understanding, Mr. Buttarelli, is you're fluent in English. Is that correct?
