I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 64 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. Pursuant to the order of reference adopted by the House of Commons on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, the committee is meeting on the study of Bill C-290, an act to amend the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act.
Colleagues, we'll be going to about 4:30 p.m. Then we will go in camera to finish off the Governor General study.
We have one witness online and several in person. We have some opening statements. I will just confirm that for our witness online, we have done the proper sound check for our interpreters.
Mr. Bruyea, we'll start with you, after which we'll go to Mr. Devine and then Ms. Brill-Edwards.
Mr. Bruyea, go ahead, please.
