I call this meeting to order.
I want to welcome everyone to meeting number 92 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 Tuesday, January 31, 2023, the committee is resuming its study of the use of social media platforms for data harvesting and unethical or illicit sharing of personal information with foreign entities.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
I want to remind all members and witnesses that care must be taken with regard to the earpieces for interpretation. Please be mindful not to place your earpiece near the microphone as this could result in feedback, causing injury to our interpreters.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses for the first hour today.
From the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, we have Peter Madou, director general of intelligence assessments—welcome, Peter—and Cherie Henderson, who is the assistant director of requirements.
From the Communications Security Establishment, we have Sami Khoury, who is the head of the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security.
I am going to start with our representatives from CSIS. You have up to five minutes for your opening statement.
Cherie, go ahead, please. Thank you.
