I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 38 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(3), the committee is meeting for its update on the implementation of the foreign influence transparency registry.
Today's meeting is taking place in public in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
Before I continue, I would ask all in-person participants to consult the guidelines written on cards on the table. These measures are in place to help prevent audio and feedback incidents and to protect the health and safety of all participants, especially our interpreters.
I'd like to remind the witness—although you are a frequent flyer here—that committee members may ask questions in either English or French. If you need interpretation, please take a moment to prepare your earpiece and select the listening channel you need in advance, in order to take full advantage of the time allotted for questions and answers.
I have a few comments for the benefit of members.
I remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair. For members in the room, if you wish to speak, please raise your hand. For members on Zoom, please use the “raise hand” feature. The clerk and I will manage in this regard.
Before we go to today's witness.... There was a supplementary budget request sent out.
Is there any opposition to that? Is it agreed to?
