Good morning, everyone.
Welcome back from a fairly lengthy constituency break. I hope my colleagues at the table all found some time to connect with their constituents, and maybe even found some time to relax. We're in for the long haul now until the end of June. We have nine weeks of Parliament, with only a couple of weeks' break in-between. We have a lot of work ahead of us.
I want to thank Mr. Lightbound, who I think was the chair in my absence, when I was gone the week before.
We have with us Mr. Drapeau, who is no stranger to coming before Parliament. We welcome you this morning, sir, from the University of Ottawa. We also have the ambassador from Sweden, Mr. Per Ola Sjogren. We welcome you, sir. And we have Toby Mendel by video conference from the Centre for Law and Democracy.
Gentlemen, we appreciate your being here with us this morning. We are going to start with your opening remarks.
We are studying the access to information legislation. We'll hear you for up to 10 minutes each, with your opening remarks, and then we'll proceed to our questions. I'll go in the order you appear on the list.
We'll start with Mr. Drapeau, please.
