I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 68 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, and members can therefore attend in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application. Should any technical challenges arise, please advise me. I don't expect that we're going to have any, but please note that we may need to suspend for a few minutes as we need to ensure that all members are able to participate fully.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(h) and the motion adopted by the committee on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, the committee is resuming its study of foreign interference and threats to the integrity of democratic institutions, intellectual property and the Canadian state.
We have one witness today, and I would like to welcome him. As an individual, we have Mr. Morris Rosenberg. He is the author of “Report on the assessment of the 2021 Critical Election Incident Public Protocol” and the former president and CEO of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation.
Just before Mr. Rosenberg begins, I am going to advise the committee that we received up to 120 pages from our witness on Friday. Many of them have to be translated. We've also received information that will have to be transcribed. My understanding from the clerk is that it may take a few days for that to happen.
It's actually closer to 200 pages, is it not, Madam Clerk?
