Colleagues, thank you. I thank our witnesses for being here.
There's just a little bit of housekeeping before we introduce our witnesses and proceed with the meeting. I will be taking approximately 15 minutes at the end of the meeting for committee business to briefly discuss future witnesses appearing before the committee on this act. I think we should be able to dispose of that in about 15 minutes.
With that, I would like to welcome Mr. Trottier and Madam Stevens, who are with us today. This is the 68th meeting of the Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates, and we are dealing with a study of the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act.
Mr. Trottier, Madam Stevens, thank you for being here.
Mr. Trottier, I understand you have a brief opening statement.
