I call the meeting to order.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Welcome to meeting number 127 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 Tuesday, May 7, 2024, the committee is resuming its study of the compliance of a minister with the Conflict of Interest Act.
Before I begin, I want to talk about a couple of housekeeping rules.
First, obviously, the committee has been in receipt of a lot of information over the summer, so I expect, Minister, there will be some very pointed questions today.
Second, I want to limit the disruptions as much as possible. This is a reminder to all committee members that any comments are to come through the chair; they're not to go across the table. I'm going to strictly enforce that.
The other thing I want to remind everyone about is the interpreters, and the need for a question to be asked and an answer to be given, even though we may not like the answer or we may not like the question. I want to remind all members that every member has the right to ask whatever question they want in relation to this issue, even if you don't like the question that's being asked.
With that being said....
Ms. Khalid, what is this on?
