Good afternoon, everyone. I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 123 of the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
Before we begin, I would like to ask all members and participants in the room to refer to the cards on the table for guidelines on preventing audio feedback incidents. Please note the preventive measures in place to protect the health and safety of all participants, including the interpreters.
Make sure that if you're not using your earpiece, it's on the placeholder that's clearly signalled on the desk.
We are resuming committee business. As members may recall, we suspended last Thursday with a motion that was presented. We suspended because of question period. We're resuming that motion.
I have a speakers list. When we left, Mr. Housefather was speaking. He moved the motion, so the floor now moves to Mr. Bains. I see Mr. Longfield is here as well, followed by Mr. Fisher.
We'll then turn to Mr. Desilets, who will be replacing Mr. Villemure. Welcome to the committee, Mr. Desilets.
He'll be the fourth speaker today.
I just wanted to let you know.
I see Ms. Khalid has her hand up, so we'll put her on the list.
We are going to resume debate on the motion.
