I call this meeting to order.
I see Mr. Barrett wants to speak.
Welcome to meeting number three 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 Standing Orders, members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
I have a rather long list here. I read it out the other day. I'm not going to read this every meeting, but just as a reminder to our colleagues in the room, we have to make sure our microphones and our earpieces are separated. There's a place that's designated for your earpiece on the table, and this is to prevent any injury to our interpreters.
The purpose of today's meeting is to conduct committee business. I'm going to go first and foremost to Mr. Barrett.
You have the floor, sir. Go ahead.
