Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome back to Ottawa. We're here at the request of four members of the committee, who have requested this special meeting pursuant to Standing Order 106. I'm grateful to everybody for changing their schedules, accommodating that request, and coming back to join us today. Before we jump into the agenda, I just want to quickly welcome Paul Lefebvre, our new parliamentary secretary, to the committee.
Welcome aboard and thank you for coming as well.
Time is of the essence today, as everybody knows, so I'm going to dispense with warm, long verbal greetings and jump right into things. We have a letter signed by four members of the committee, which everybody has seen. I'm going to turn the floor over to Mrs. Stubbs, who, I understand, is going to introduce her motion.
