I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 119 of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(h) and the motion adopted on Tuesday, February 13, the committee is resuming its study of the impact of disinformation and of misinformation on the work of parliamentarians.
Before we begin, I remind everyone again to consult the cards that are on the table for guidelines to prevent audio feedback incidents. Please take note of the following preventative measures in place to protect the health and safety of all participants, including the interpreters. Use only the black, approved earpiece. The former grey earpieces must no longer be used. Keep your earpiece away from all microphones at all times, and when you're not using your earpiece, place it down on the sticker that is on the table for this purpose. I thank everyone for their co-operation.
Before we begin, we are going to be dealing with bells at some point this morning. I'm not sure when that's going to be, so I have to keep an eye on that. We'll all keep an eye on that, for projected votes that are to come.
I now welcome our witnesses for our first hour. From the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, they are Nicole Giles, who is the senior assistant deputy minister, policy and strategic partnerships—welcome, Ms. Giles—and Mr. Bo Basler, director general and coordinator, foreign interference—welcome to you, sir, this morning.
Ms. Giles, the floor is yours to address the committee. You have up to five minutes. Please go ahead.
