We'll call the meeting to order.
This is the 16th meeting of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
We're here today pursuant to an order of reference of Monday, February 10 to study Bill C-23, an act to amend the Canada Elections Act and other acts and to make consequential amendments to certain acts.
We're fortunate to have the minister with us today. We will be having an hour of questions and answers with the minister.
The committee will then have some committee business to do.
Mr. Christopherson will have the floor on his motion, in public, after we finish with the minister, for the start of the second hour.
Mr. Lamoureux.
