Good morning, everyone. I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 23 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
The committee is meeting today to continue its work on the operational security of the parliamentary precinct along Wellington and Sparks streets. For the first half of the meeting, I would like to welcome the following witnesses. We have Mayor Bélisle with the City of Gatineau as well as Councillor McKenney with the City of Ottawa.
I will provide up to five minutes for opening comments for both of you to address committee.
I would just remind all colleagues and all guests that we are here in regard to a specific study, so if we can keep within that parameter, it would be greatly appreciated.
I'd like to welcome the Mayor of Gatineau.
Ms. Bélisle, you have the floor.
