I call this meeting to order.
Good afternoon, everyone, and happy Monday.
Welcome to meeting No. 54 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Monday, December 12, 2022, the committee is meeting today to study a contract awarded to Sinclair Technologies.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022.
During the first hour, we have the pleasure of welcoming the Honourable Marco Mendicino, Minister of Public Safety, whom I thank for joining us.
We are also welcoming two officials from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police: Bryan Larkin, Deputy Commissioner, Specialized Policing Services; and Samantha Hazen, Chief Financial Officer.
I thank all three of you for being with us.
Without further ado, Minister Mendicino, I give you the floor for five minutes.
