I call our meeting to order, and we'll get started today.
We have two sets of witnesses and a little bit of committee business to do at the end of the meeting today, so we're going to just see if we can find a little bit of time out of each of the witnesses.
We're here today, still pursuant to the order of reference of Thursday, November 3, 2011, on Bill C-20, An Act to amend the Constitution Act, 1867, the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act and the Canada Elections Act.
We have as our first witness today Mr. Wayne Smith, our chief statistician.
Mr. Smith, I understand you have a set of opening remarks. I'd ask you to introduce your colleagues today, make your opening remarks, and then we'll get to questions.
Mr. Lukiwski.
