Ladies and gentlemen, we will begin today's meeting, May 9, of the Standing Committee on Procedures and House Affairs.
Welcome, all members. I appreciate that you came out this morning. Before we begin, I would like to remind members that at the conclusion of the initial part of the meeting, I would like members to stick around for just a few moments so that we can discuss a little about future business.
Without further ado, Dr. Shapiro, thank you very much for coming out. It's indeed an honour to have you before the committee this morning. I would offer you a few minutes to introduce yourself, as well as your officials, to some of the newer members. Thank you.
