I call this meeting to order.
This is meeting 73 of the Standing Committee on Finance. As per our orders of the day, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), this is the start of our study on terrorist financing in Canada and abroad.
I want to welcome the four officials who are with us today from the Department of Finance and from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, or FINTRAC.
First of all, from the Department of Finance we have Assistant Deputy Minister Rob Stewart—welcome back—and the senior chief of financial crimes, international.
That is Ms. Josée Nadeau; welcome.
From FINTRAC we have the director.
That is Mr. Gérald Cossette; welcome to the committee.

We will begin with Mr. Stewart, please.
