I call the meeting to order.
Welcome, everyone.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Monday, January 29, and section 72 of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, the committee is commencing its statutory review of the act. We have the first witnesses for this fifth-year review of the act, which is going to be a fairly major undertaking.
We have, from the Department of Finance, Annette Ryan, associate assistant deputy minister, financial sector policy branch; Ian Wright, director, financial crimes governance and operations; and Maxime Beaupré, director, financial crimes policy.
The floor is yours, Annette. I believe you have an opening statement, and then we'll go from there.
Thank you for coming.
