Colleagues, let's bring our meeting back to order. We will start with our next set of witnesses.
I want to welcome to the committee Mr. Ouellet and Mr. Wilkie. We appreciate your being here.
Colleagues, we are still discussing Bill C-16 and the issue of an advance polling day.
I'm going to invite our witnesses to take a brief moment to introduce themselves.
If you have an opening statement, you're welcome to do that. If we could keep it to two minutes or three minutes, that would be appreciated. Then we'll start our rounds of questioning.
Perhaps we could start with Monsieur Ouellet, please.
