I'm going to call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 107 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
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.
Pursuant to to Standing Order 106(4), the committee is meeting at the request of four members of the committee to discuss a request to undertake a study on the topic of documents in relation to the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, tabled in the House on Wednesday, February 28, 2024.
I just want to remind all members who are here to make sure that their earpieces are not next to the microphones, because it does cause feedback and potential injury to the interpreters. Another reminder is that all comments are to be directed through the chair.
When I dropped the gavel, I saw Mr. Chong, Mr. Cooper, Mr. Ellis and Mr. Berthold, and then Ms. Khalid came up.
