I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 22 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
Pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), the committee is considering the main estimates for 2022-23: vote 1 under the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying; vote 1 under the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner; vote 1 under the Office of the Senate Ethics Officer; and votes 1 and 5 under the offices of the Information Commissioner and Privacy Commissioner of Canada, referred to the committee on Tuesday, March 1, 2022.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of November 25, 2021. Members and witnesses are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application. I think everybody, including our witness today, would be familiar with the format.
Before we go to our witness today, we have an administrative point that we need to deal with. That is the budget for the study of the main estimates. This was distributed to everyone this morning.
Is it the pleasure of the committee to adopt the proposed budget?
