Colleagues, I think we'll begin. We're a few minutes late starting. We have not seen Mr. Conacher appear yet, but I understand that he is on his way.
Once again to our witnesses, Mr. Devitt, Mr. Devine, and particularly to Mr. Worth, who is appearing before us for the first time, welcome to our committee as we continue our study on the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act. As we have done in previous committee meetings, we will be asking each of our witnesses to give a brief opening statement. That will be followed by questions from all of our committee members. We have approximately a little less than two hours for questions.
Colleagues, I would like to take about 15 minutes at the end of the meeting just to go over some very quick committee business, so I'll be adjourning this meeting at approximately 10:30. My understanding is that the witnesses before us will be able to stay for the entire duration of the meeting, except for Mr. Devitt who has to leave at 10:15 to catch a plane.
With that then, colleagues, I think we'll start with our opening statements.
Mr. Worth, you have not appeared before our committee before, so we'll start with you.
