I call the meeting back to order.
We have the Chief Electoral Officer, Monsieur Mayrand, with us today.
We'll give you a chance to deliver some opening comments. Before we do, you sent us a letter about this committee meeting you on June 17 at Elections Canada. We had a great visit there a year ago, and we've said that we'll visit you again. We thought we'd let you know. We'll be happy to spend our committee time that day on a road trip. It's just a short one. Thank you very much.
I'll let you go ahead with your opening statement. Please introduce your guests to us, and then we'll have a couple of rounds of questions.
Committee, I'd like to have about five minutes of your time at the end so we can do a little committee business. We'll go almost to the top of the hour, but I think we''ll stop just before then, if we can.
So we'll have an opening statement and then questions from members. But before we start, the chair calls vote 15 under the Privy Council, and now we have witnesses to that effect.
Monsieur Mayrand.
