Good morning, everyone.
I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 18 of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
The committee is meeting today to study the main estimates 2022‑23 for the House of Commons and parliamentary services, during the first hour of the meeting. To this end, representatives from the House Administration and the Parliamentary Protective Service, or PPS, are attending the meeting.
We will then begin our study on the operational security of the Parliamentary Precinct. We will continue with the representatives of the House and the PPS. This part of the meeting will be held in camera.
So some of the House employees are here to talk to us about the main estimates.
We have with us Deputy Speaker Chris d'Entremont; Clerk of the House of Commons Charles Robert; deputy clerk, administration, Michel Patrice; and chief financial officer Paul St George.
With that, I welcome everyone present.
We'll go over to you, Mr. Speaker.
