Welcome to meeting 113 of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
This morning we continue our study of Bill C-76, an act to amend the Canada Elections Act and other acts and to make certain consequential amendments.
We are pleased to be joined by Leslie Seidle, Research Director from the Institute for Research on Public Policy; Nicolas Lavellée, Strategic Adviser, from Citoyenneté jeunesse; and Michael Morden, Research Director from the Samara Centre for Democracy.
Thank you for being here this morning.
I'll now turn the floor over to Mr. Seidle for his opening comments.
