Colleagues, I'm calling to order this meeting.
This is the 41st meeting of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. Today, we are considering the certificate of nomination for Daniel Therrien as the Privacy Commissioner, pursuant to the standing orders that provide for that. As you know, Mr. Therrien's term has been extended for a further year.
I'd like to remind members that today's meeting is televised and will be available via the House of Commons website.
Commissioner, thank you so much for joining us. I believe you have some opening remarks to begin the meeting, and then we'll have some questions for you.
We'll turn it over to you, Commissioner.
