Good morning, everyone.
Good morning, everybody.
Welcome to meeting number 130 of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
I just have a quick reminder for witnesses and others. When your headset is not in use, please make sure that it is placed on the sticker in front of you in order to protect the well-being of our interpreters, who are working so hard on our behalf.
Today we are meeting for our study of Bill C‑65, An Act to amend the Canada Elections Act.
Our witnesses this morning are from the Privy Council Office. We have Allen Sutherland, assistant secretary to the cabinet, and Rachel Pereira, director, democratic institutions.
We will have five minutes total for our witnesses and their introduction, and then, as per usual, we will head into our line of questioning.
With that, witnesses, I turn the floor over to you for five minutes.
