Bob Zimmer at the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee

Good afternoon, everybody. I call this meeting to order.

This is the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics, meeting number 72. We're dealing with Bill C-58, An Act to amend the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts.

I'd like to welcome via teleconference, from the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Cara Zwibel; from Democracy Watch, Duff Conacher; and from the Canadian Journalists for Free Expression, Gordon McIntosh.

We'll start with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.

Go ahead.
