Thank you.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses.
As individuals, we have Dean Beeby, a journalist, and Andrea Conte, a writer, researcher and media artist. From the Canadian Association of Journalists, we have Mr. Brent Jolly.
Unfortunately, we're missing Mr. Tromp at this point. He hasn't connected. We are trying to make a connection with him.
Before we commence, this meeting is scheduled to go until 6:30 p.m. We do have to do some committee business in order to dispose of a motion that is before the committee. I will try to time that for 6:25 p.m. That will give us about an hour and 55 minutes. I understand that parties have been in discussions and that we very likely, I hope, will dispose of that motion very quickly.
I just wanted to make it very clear to our witnesses right off the top that with five minutes left in the session, we will be going to committee business. I'll time everything accordingly.
Mr. Beeby, the floor is yours for five minutes, sir.
Thank you.
