Good morning, colleagues.
Good morning, everyone.
Everybody, we are gathering together for the 117th meeting of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
We have another three hours this morning and into the early afternoon.
I note that there was some surprise on the part of members that there was breakfast this morning. It feels as though, perhaps, this is one of the earlier meeting times, so I hope everyone is enjoying the change in meal plans.
We have with us this morning witnesses from the translation bureau.
I'm going to introduce them and give them the floor shortly.
As a reminder to colleagues and to witnesses, when you're not using your earpiece, please make sure that it is placed on the sticker to either your left or right in order to respect the health and well-being of our translators—which, of course, you would fully understand.
With that, colleagues, we continue our study. This is the second meeting of our study reviewing the members of the House of Commons workplace harassment and violence prevention policy. I thought the last meeting was incredibly informative, productive and respectful. I hope we can continue in that vein.
Without any further delay, I would like to welcome, from the translation bureau, Jean-François Lymburner, chief executive officer; Matthew Ball, vice-president, service to Parliament and interpretation; and Annie Trépanier, vice-president, policy and corporate.
You will have up to 10 minutes collectively, as a group, for an opening statement.
With that, I pass it over to you, Mr. Lymburner.
