The Chair Liberal Bardish Chagger

I call the meeting to order.

Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to meeting number 50 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. The committee is meeting today to continue its study on foreign election interference.

Today we have with us Mr. David Mulroney, Mr. Charles Burton and, on Zoom, Mr. Matthew Johnson from MediaSmarts.

We have made sure that the sound check and those kinds of things have been done.

Charles Burton is the senior fellow of the Centre for Advancing Canada's Interests Abroad at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. David Mulroney is a former ambassador of Canada to the People's Republic of China, and I've mentioned Matthew Johnson, who is the director of education at MediaSmarts.

We will have up to five minutes for opening comments. I will just remind all members and our guests that all comments should be made through the chair.

With that, Mr. Mulroney, you have up to five minutes. Welcome to PROC.
