I'm calling this meeting back to order.
For the second hour of this meeting, we're launching our study on facial recognition software and concerns related to it. Today we have the commissioner, who has agreed to remain here for an additional hour so that he can answer some questions as we launch into the investigation of this matter.
Thank you, Commissioner, for remaining with us.
We also have Mr. Homan, who is remaining with us as well, and Lara Ives, who is the executive director of the policy, research and parliamentary affairs directorate. Thank you so much for being here. Finally, we have Regan Morris, who is joining us as legal counsel.
Thank you as well for being here, Commissioner.
I'll turn it back to you for an opening statement to allow you to begin the discussion. Then we'll have questions for you.
