Good afternoon, everyone. I now call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 16 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology. Pursuant to the order of reference of Saturday, April 11, the committee is meeting for the purpose of receiving evidence concerning matters related to the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Today's meeting is taking place by video conference, and the proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website.
As a reminder to the members and the witnesses, before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. When you are ready to speak, please unmute your microphone, and then return it to mute when you are finished. Please speak slowly and clearly so that the translators can do their work, and please make sure your questions and comments are through the chair.
As is my normal practice, I will hold up the yellow card when you have 30 seconds left in your intervention, and the red card when your time for questions has expired.
I will now welcome our witnesses.
From the Autorité des marchés financiers, we have Jean-François Fortin, executive director of enforcement, as well as Christian Desjardins, director of assessment and inquiry.
From the Canadian Internet Registration Authority, we have Mr. Byron Holland, president and chief executive officer; Mr. Dave Chiswell, vice-president of product development; and Mr. Albert Chang, corporate counsel.

As well, from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, we have Mr. Eric Slinn, assistant commissioner, federal policing criminal operations; and

Each witness will present for five minutes, followed by our rounds of questions.
