Good afternoon, everyone. I'm calling the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 134 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, February 13, 2024, the committee is resuming its study of the impact of disinformation and misinformation on the work of parliamentarians.
I would like to welcome the witnesses we have with us for the first hour of the meeting. Both are participating by video conference.
I would like to welcome, first of all, Mr. Jacob Suelzle, who is a correctional officer federally.
Mr. Michael Wagner is online with us today. He's a professor and William T. Evjue Distinguished Chair for the Wisconsin Idea at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Mr. Suelzle, you'll have up to five minutes for your opening statement, followed by Mr. Wagner.
I apologize for the delay. We've had some speeches in the House that have precipitated this delay.
Go ahead, please, Mr. Suelzle.
