I call the meeting to order.
Good morning, everybody. Welcome, on this beautiful sunny cold day in Ottawa, to meeting number 82 of the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology, as we continue our study on Canada's anti-spam legislation.
Before we begin, I would like to do a quick shout-out. I know some of us are participating in the Big Brothers Big Sisters shadow day on the Hill. Can we just get the Boys and Girls Clubs people to stand up?
Look at all these folks, new to the Hill, shadowing their MPs. Welcome to our committee. We hope to keep you entertained with our theatrics.
Today we have Kim Arsenault, senior director of client services at Inbox Marketer.
We have, very intriguingly, from Interpol, Louis Lau, digital crime officer in the cybercrime directorate, all the way from Singapore. I have to give you credit; it's midnight over there. You have it worse than we do.
Then, from Spamhaus Technology, we have Chris Lewis, chief scientist.
We'll start with Louis Lau, from Interpol.
You have eight minutes to present to us. Go ahead; the floor is yours.
