Good morning, everyone. I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 79 of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
The committee is meeting today to study the question of privilege related to the member for Wellington—Halton Hills and other members.
I would like to remind all members and witnesses that care must be taken with regard to the earpieces for interpretation. Please be mindful to not place your earpiece near the microphone, as this can result in feedback that may cause an acoustic shock, which could in turn cause injury to the interpreters. Basically, if you're using an earpiece, keep it in. If you're not, leave it to the side. That's probably the best way. Playing with it may not be the best option right now.
I will remind you that all comments will go through the chair. The clerk and I will maintain a consolidated speaking list.
We have with us today Ms. Jody Thomas, national security and intelligence adviser.
Ms. Thomas, you have up to five minutes to present.
I really want to thank you and your team for responding to us so quickly with your availability. I'm hoping that others hear this message, because then they will get praise. I will give you praise for responding so quickly and for being here with us this morning.
The floor is yours.
