I call the meeting to order.
We're late getting started today because of a vote in the House. I would like to say that we are in public today.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(a)(vi), we are considering matters relating to the election of members to the House of Commons. We have with us today the chief electoral officer, Monsieur Mayrand.
We're happy to have you back with us today. We have a number of topics to cover, but I know you have an opening statement, so we'll let you start with your statement and introduce your members. Then I think we'll get into a pretty interesting discussion.
