That being a non-debatable motion, we'll call the question.
(Motion agreed to: yeas 7; nays 4)
Thank you for that.
I just want to put on the record—and I will be continuing to try to keep us on time—that I do know some of the parameters.
Mr. Chong would be the natural first appearance, and we are working to make sure that we can try to get him here before the constituency week. Then, as we determine the witnesses, we'll work to see where we can put them in.
After the constituency week, we will be heavily on the question of privilege, as members have shared a desire to do so. It remains that Tuesday is when to get your witnesses to the clerk. If a notice has not been sent out yet, it will be shortly.
With that, the committee is meeting today to continue its study on foreign election interference.
We have with us today Mark Bourrie, barrister and solicitor; Michel Juneau-Katsuya, former chief of the Asia-Pacific unit, Canadian Security Intelligence Service; and, from the Vancouver Anti-Corruption Institute, Peter German, barrister and solicitor.
You will each have up to four minutes for an opening statement, after which we will proceed with questions from committee members.
Mr. Bourrie, you have the floor. You can speak in the official language of your choice.
