I call this meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone.
Welcome to meeting No. 36 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
The committee is meeting today to resume its study on expanding the parliamentary precinct to include parts of Wellington Street and Sparks Street.
Our first panel consists of officials from CSIS, who will provide the committee with a security briefing on their work.
Our second panel consists of witnesses and organizations who have been recalled to committee to provide additional information.
I would like to let the committee know that all of our virtual witnesses have undergone the pre-committee connectivity and audio test.
In panel one we are welcoming today Cherie Henderson, assistant director, requirements, and Newton Shortliffe, assistant director, collection.
Before we start, I remind everyone that all comments by members and witnesses should be addressed through the chair.
Ms. Henderson, please go ahead with your opening statement. Welcome to PROC.
