I call this meeting to order.
I'm sorry we're late, but there were votes.
Welcome to meeting number 103 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(h) and the motion adopted by the committee on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, the committee is resuming today its study of the federal government's use of technological tools capable of extracting personal data from mobile devices and computers.
Today’s meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
I just want to remind everyone again, especially our guests, to not put the earpieces next to the microphones, because it could cause feedback for the interpreters. Just be mindful of that.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses for today.
From the Competition Bureau of Canada, we have Pierre-Yves Guay, deputy commissioner, cartels directorate; and Mario Mainville, chief digital officer. From Shared Services Canada, we have Daniel Mills, assistant deputy minister, enterprise IT procurement and corporate services branch; and Scott Jones, president. From the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, we have Luc Casault, director general, corporate services; and Kathy Fox, chair.
Welcome, everyone.
We are going to start with the Competition Bureau of Canada.
You have up to five minutes to address the committee on the subject. Please go ahead.
