Hello everyone.
Welcome to the 71st meeting of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. This is a public meeting.
Today we are continuing our study of Bill C-50, An Act to Amend the Canada Elections Act (political financing).
The two witnesses are from Elections Canada: Stéphane Perrault, acting Chief Electoral Officer, and Ms. Anne Lawson, general counsel and senior director, legal services. Thank you for being here.
I will now give the floor to Mr. Perrault so he can give his presentation.
