The Chair Liberal Anthony Housefather

Thank you to this panel of witnesses. We very much appreciate your joining us today.

Ms. Overholt, I know it's always difficult to appear by video conference because you can't see everyone's face, but it's a pleasure having you. It's not exactly like being in the room, but technologically it's as close as we can get.

Mr. Muise and Mr. Topp, thank you so much.

Colleagues, we have an in camera session. I'm going to suspend so that we can prepare the room for in camera. We're going to try to start in about five minutes, so please stick around.
