I call the meeting to order.
Today we are meeting in public. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(a), we are discussing matters relating to the draft regulations adapting the Canada Elections Act for the purposes of a referendum.
Monsieur Mayrand, it's great to have you here two meetings in a row. It's always hard to get you, so when we can have you for two meetings in a row, it must be urgent for us to look at this for you. We will give you a few moments for opening comments and to introduce the people who are with you, and then I'm sure members of the committee will have some questions as to what steps you'd like us to take next.
The floor is yours.
