Colleagues, we'll bring the meeting back to order.
I want to give a special welcome and a deep thank you to our witnesses this morning.
This morning, colleagues, we have, for the second half of this meeting on Bill C-54, the Chief Electoral Officer, Marc Mayrand.
I'm going to offer Monsieur Mayrand the floor in a moment to introduce his team. However, I just want to bring to the members' attention the fact that Monsieur Mayrand and his team were very kind. It was with great difficulty that they were able to come this morning. The team testified in a Senate committee yesterday, and they have done a phenomenal job in preparation for this meeting. I want to acknowledge that in public and let them know how much the chair, and I'm sure the members from the House, appreciate their extra efforts in getting this information to us this morning.
I will offer you the floor. Perhaps you would introduce your team, Marc, and then say anything you have to say. Then we will open the usual round of questions.
Monsieur Mayrand.
