I call this meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to meeting number 110 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
Today’s meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Monday, April 24, 2023, the committee is resuming consideration of Bill C-27, An Act to enact the Consumer Privacy Protection Act, the Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal Act and the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act and to make consequential and related amendments to other Acts.
I'd like to welcome all the witnesses here today.
From the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists, we have Eleanor Noble, national president, who is joined by Marie Kelly, national executive director. We also have Stéphanie Hénault, director of legal affairs at the Association nationale des éditeurs de livres, as well as Marie-Julie Desrochers, executive director of the Coalition for the Diversity of Cultural Expression. From the Directors Guild of Canada, we have Dave Forget, national executive director, and Samuel Bischoff, manager of policy and regulatory affairs. Lastly, from Music Canada, we have Patrick Rogers, chief executive officer.
Thanks for being here with us this Monday morning as we're nearing the end of this study on Bill C-27. You are generating, as I see already, a lot of excitement in the room, so thanks for making the time to enlighten us with your testimony and your answers to our questions today.
Without further ado, we can start with Ms. Noble for five minutes.
The floor is yours.
