Good morning, everyone.
I'm going to call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 104 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 its study on 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 of the House. Members may participate in person, in the room, and remotely using the Zoom application.
I just want to remind everyone again, as I always do, to make sure to keep the earpieces away from the microphones so that we don't harm our interpreters or Mr. Light.
I'd now like to welcome our first witness for this hour. As an individual, we have Mr. Evan Light, an associate professor.
Mr. Light, I want to welcome you to the committee. You have five minutes to address the committee.
Go ahead, please.
