The Chair Conservative David Sweet

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to the 33rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.

We are beginning our study on Bill S-4, an act to amend the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and to make a consequential amendment to another act.

Before us we have the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Industry.

I'll also go ahead and introduce the department officials, as well—Mr. John Knubley, deputy minister; Kelly Gillis, associate deputy minister; and Chris Padfield, director general, digital policy branch. I understand, Mr. Knubley, that in the second half you'll have opening remarks.

But for now we will begin.

Minister, if you would begin your opening remarks, and then we'll have our usual rounds of questions.
