Welcome, everyone, to the 81st meeting of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
Today we are continuing our study of the creation of an independent commissioner responsible for leaders' debates.
We are pleased to be joined by Paul Wells, senior writer at Maclean's and, by video conference from Boston, Vincent Raynauld, assistant professor in the department of communication studies at Emerson College and
affiliate professor, literature and social communications department, Université du Québec à Trois Rivières.
Thank you for being here.
Mr. Reid, is it just about the process here?
