Good afternoon. I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 76 of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
The committee is meeting today pursuant to a meeting request under Standing Order 106(4). I'm sure everyone has seen the 106(4) in regard to the parameters around the appearance of the Right Honourable David Johnston.
As we know, we as a committee have decided that he should be appearing. I will confirm that to date he's been very receptive to appearing.
I will now recognize members for the discussion of this request.
We'll hear from Mr. Barrett followed by Mr. Berthold.
