We're going to call the meeting to order and welcome our first witnesses.
This is meeting 15 of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. We're still in our study of prorogation.
We have two witnesses today, one in the first hour and one in the second. Brian Topp is here with us in the first hour.
Mr. Topp, we're going to ask you to give us an opening statement. I understand you have some wisdom to share with us, after which we'll then do rounds of questioning to take up the hour.
Mr. Proulx, you have a point of order.
