I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 132 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
Before we begin, esteemed colleagues, I would like to ask those of you here in Ottawa to consult the little card in front of you for guidelines on using the microphones and the earpieces to protect the health and safety of the interpreters.
Thank you all for your co-operation.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format. To ensure that the meeting runs smoothly, I would like to remind members that it's important they raise their hand or identify themselves if they wish to speak.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(4), the committee is meeting to look into a request to consider the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner's Verschuren report and other findings related to Sustainable Development Technology Canada, or SDTC.
Without further ado, I will now give the floor to Mr. Perkins, who has circulated a motion.
