I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number eight of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(h) and the motion adopted by the committee on Thursday, January 13, 2022, the committee has commenced its study on the collection and use of mobility data by the Government of Canada.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of November 25, 2021. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely by using the Zoom application. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website. The webcast will always show the person speaking rather than the entirety of the committee.
Before we go to witnesses, a study budget was distributed to all of you. Are there any objections or questions?
I see none. Shall the budget be adopted?
(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings]
Now we can proceed directly to hearing from our witnesses.
In the first panel, from BlueDot, we have Dr. Kamran Khan, chief executive officer and founder, and Mr. Alex Demarsh, director of data science.
You have five minutes for your opening statement. Please go ahead.
