Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Bonjour à tous.
Welcome to the 38th meeting of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming today. I will introduce them: from the Public Guardian and Trustee of British Columbia, Catherine Romanko, public guardian and trustee; from the Public Guardian and Trustee of Manitoba, Douglas Brown; from the Canadian Pharmacists Association, Janet Cooper, vice-president, professional affairs; and as an individual, Avner Levin, associate professor and the director of the Privacy and Cyber Crime Institute at Ryerson University.
We will follow that order as far as opening remarks are concerned.
I just want to advise members that we have another committee coming in here after us, so we'll be targeting for five minutes before our usual time to complete.
We'll begin with opening remarks from Ms. Romanko.
