I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 12 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3), the committee is meeting for its study of challenges regarding special ballot voting.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application. I would ask all in-person participants to consult the guidelines written on the back of the cards on the table. These measures are in place to help audio and feedback incidents and to protect the health and safety of all participants, including our interpreters. There's a QR code. Check it out. There's a video for awareness on the subject.
I will make a few comments for the benefit of members. All comments should be addressed through the chair. Members on Zoom—there aren't any today—can raise their hand if they wish to speak.
