I call this meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to meeting eight of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of September 23. The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website. As usual, the webcast will always show the person speaking rather than the entire committee. As we do not have any witnesses today, I will not go over all of the usual rules to follow. However, I will ask members to raise their hand to get on the order of speaking. The committee clerk and I will do our best to maintain the order of speaking for all members, whether you are participating virtually or in person.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(4), the committee is meeting today to consider the request of four members to undertake a study of the domestic manufacturing capacity for a COVID-19 vaccine.
With that, I will turn the floor over to MP Cumming, who has his hand up.
Mr. Cumming, you have the floor.
