May I please call the meeting to order.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(a)(iii), we're going to be talking about new technologies and their impact on House and committee proceedings.
Mr. Speaker, you did send some sort of statement for this committee to look at, so we thought the best person to have here today to come and speak on this issue was you. I understand you can't be with us for the full two hours today, but I'm hoping that just through a few rounds of questioning we can get a direction as to where this committee wants to head on this study.
Let's start off with you and Madam O'Brien, and introduce who you have brought with you today. I don't know if you have an opening statement, or will we just go to a round of questioning?
