I call this meeting to order.
Welcome back to the information, privacy and ethics committee as we start in 2023.
Hopefully, Madam Clerk and analysts, you had a good time off. I know the analysts were busy with report writing. Welcome back, everyone.
Welcome to meeting number 54 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022. Therefore, members can attend in person and remotely using the Zoom application.
Should any technical difficulties arise, please advise me immediately. Please note that we may need to suspend the meeting for a few moments to ensure that all members are able to participate fully.
For members in the room, if you wish to speak, please raise your hand. For members on Zoom, please use the “raise hand” function. I see that we have one member on Zoom today.
The clerk and I will manage the speaking order as best we can. We appreciate your patience and understanding on this.
Now, you'll notice that we received an amended notice of motion. We're going to be dealing with one issue first, but Ms. Khalid has asked me for this.
Because you require a substitution for particular meetings, Ms. Khalid, that requires a motion by the committee. Perhaps you could place that motion on the floor now, before we start deliberating on the 106(4) request.
Thank you.
