We will go ahead and start our meeting.
I'd like to thank our guests for coming this morning. I apologize for the delay. We needed to move rooms so that we could televise.
We are starting our study on the order of reference regarding the motion of privilege for the member for Provencher.
I will caution our guests today and committee members that we'll start in public and do as well as we can to talk about the issues of the breach of privilege and items that relate to that. As chair, I do feel that there may be a time when we'll get to points or issues that may require us to go in camera for security reasons.
I ask members from all sides as well as the witnesses, if you feel we're getting near there, to warn us. We'll try to delay as much of that as we can until the end of the meeting so that we can bunch it all together, instead of going in camera and back into public. So we'll do that.
Members, we were also given another motion of privilege today by the Speaker, and as a committee we will need to discuss that and where it fits in our schedule. I recognize you're all using midnight to six just for sleep right now, and we can probably use some of that.
Madam Clerk, it's great to have you here today. I would like you to lead off and introduce your guests, and then we'll go into rounds of questions.
