Good morning. I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 99 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 Wednesday, January 17, 2024, the committee is meeting today for a briefing session with the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner.
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 by using the Zoom application.
I would like to remind all members not to put their earpieces next to the microphones, as it causes feedback and potential injury to our interpreters.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses for today.
First, from the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, I welcome Mr. Konrad von Finckenstein, who is the interim Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. I would also like to welcome again Lyne Robinson-Dalpé, who is the director, advisory and compliance.
Welcome again, sir, to the committee. You have five minutes to address the committee, and we'll follow that with questions by members.
Go ahead, sir.
