Good morning, everyone. I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 81 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 will remind you to not have your earpiece near the microphone, to use your earpiece and not somebody else's. Ideally what I'm realizing, because I am returning to my mission for interpreters and fighting for them, is IT will know when it's your turn to speak, so you don't need to push the button to turn it on or off. That way we make sure one person is speaking at a time, and we let these great people do their work. So just lean in and they'll know it's your turn. I'm confident we can do this very well. As always, we will maintain a consolidated speaking list.
Today we have with us Mr. Vincent Rigby, visiting professor, Max Bell School of Public Policy, McGill University.
Welcome to PROC. I understand that you've shared your comments with interpreters.
With that, I will pass the floor over to you for up to five minutes.
