I call the meeting to order.
Welcome, everyone, to the 34th meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Today is Monday, September 28, 2009.
You have before you the agenda for today. You will have noticed that today we are continuing our review of Bill S-4, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (identity theft and related misconduct).
We have before us four organizations.
Just so you know, one organization cancelled. The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police had to bow out at the last minute. That leaves us with four organizations.
First, representing the Information Technology Association of Canada, we have Bernard A. Courtois.
We also have the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Jennifer Stoddart is the commissioner, and Carman Baggaley is the strategic policy adviser.
Representing the Canadian Bar Association, we have Gaylene Shellenberg, who is a lawyer with that organization, and also Daniel MacRury, who is the treasurer.
Finally, we have the RCMP represented. We have Chief Superintendent Stephen White and also Inspector Kerry Petryshyn.
Welcome to all of you. I think you've been told the process. Each organization has 10 minutes to present. Then we'll open the floor to questions from our members.
Mr. Courtois, please proceed. You have 10 minutes.
