I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 64 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. Members can, therefore, attend in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application. Should any technical challenges arise, please advise me. My understanding is that we have nobody on Zoom, so this should be fairly easy. Please note that we may need to suspend for a few minutes—I'm reading what I have to read—as we need to ensure all members are able to fully participate.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(h) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, May 16, 2022, the committee is resuming its study of the access to information and privacy system.
In accordance with the committee's routine motion, the connection tests have been dealt with, so I'm informing you of that now.
I'd like to now welcome our witnesses for the first hour today. From the Treasury Board Secretariat, we have the honourable Minister Mona Fortier, president of the Treasury Board.
Welcome, Minister.
Stephen Burt is also here, as chief data officer and assistant deputy minister, policy and performance sector, along with Catherine Luelo, deputy minister and chief information officer of Canada.
Minister, you have five minutes to address the committee. The floor is yours. Please go ahead.
