Good morning, colleagues. Let's begin our meeting.
Thank you all for coming out.
I want to advise members that our meeting this morning will be held in public.
We have the pleasure once again to have Mr. Jean-Pierre Kingsley, the past—that's hard to say, actually—the past Chief Electoral Officer.
As members know, but for the record I will tell everyone, Mr. Kingsley served 17 years as the Chief Electoral Officer, and his position ended on February 17. Lots of 17s in there, but I'm sure you're not 17, so we'll pass on the next possibility.
I understand Mr. Kingsley does not necessarily have an opening statement, but I welcome you to the committee this morning. The committee has asked for a wrap-up meeting, so we will open the floor.
We'll keep our format to our rounds of questioning, although it is a little bit more casual that our tend-to-be-formal meetings. But we will stick with our rounds of questioning, eight minutes first round, and see how it goes from there.
Mr. Owen, the floor is yours.
