I call this meeting to order.
This is meeting number 34 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. I'd like to remind committee members and those who have joined us that today's meeting will be televised and will be made available on the House of Commons website.
For the first hour of our meeting today, pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), we are examining the main estimates 2021-22, votes 1 and 5 under the offices of the Information Commissioner and the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Today, some witnesses for the first hour will be joining us for the second hour. They will remain here for the second hour for what is technically our second meeting today. For our first hour, from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, we have Daniel Therrien, who is the Privacy Commissioner of Canada; Brent Homan, who is the deputy commissioner of the compliance sector; Daniel Nadeau, who is the deputy commissioner of the corporate management sector; and Gregory Smolynec, who is the deputy commissioner of the policy and promotion sector. He wasn't here moments ago but may have joined us. If he hasn't yet, he will be joining us.
Commissioner, I'll turn it over to you for your opening statement.
