I call the meeting to order
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to meeting number 66 of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
The committee is meeting this evening to continue its study on foreign election interference.
The Clerk and I will maintain a consolidated list of members wishing to speak.
Just as a reminder, on Thursday we will begin at 10 a.m. with the steering committee meeting, followed by Minister Mendicino on foreign election interference. Then, for the third hour for some of us and the second for others, we will proceed with the first panel of our colleagues concerning the federal electoral boundaries commission report for Ontario.
On Thursday, April 27, Tuesday, May 2, and Thursday, May 4, we will be meeting in room 225 West Block, just upstairs, so that our colleagues on another committee can have access to this room.
This evening, we have with us Jean-Nicolas Bordeleau, doctoral researcher; Steve Waterhouse, retired captain, former information system security officer, Department of National Defence, and cybersecurity specialist; and Laurence Grondin-Robillard, Ph.D. candidate, Groupe de recherche sur l'information et la surveillance au quotidien.
You will now have up to four minutes for an opening statement, after which we will proceed to comments.
Welcome, Mr. Bordeleau.
The floor is yours.
