I call this meeting to order.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Welcome to meeting number 90 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 our witnesses today, from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. First, we are hearing from Philippe Dufresne, Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
Thank you for joining us again today.
Next, we have Lara Ives, executive director, Policy, Research and Parliamentary Affairs Directorate, as well as Michael Maguire, director, Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, Compliance Directorate.
I thank all three of you for coming back. I'm confident that everything will go well today—I'm looking at my colleagues—and that we'll have a chance to have a normal meeting and benefit from your insights on Bill C‑27.
Without further ado, Mr. Dufresne, I'll give you the floor for five minutes.
