I'd like to call this meeting to order.
This is the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. This is our 18th meeting. Today we are dealing with Standing Order 81(4) on the main estimates for the years 2006-2007, vote 25 under Privy Council, referred to the committee on Tuesday, April 25, 2006.
We would like to welcome our witnesses from the Security Intelligence Review Committee. The chair, Gary Filmon, will have some introductory remarks, and he can introduce the rest of the people with him.
We're also going to be dealing with the order of reference of Thursday, October 26, the study of the SIRC annual report 2005-2006. Also, we will deal with Standing Order 108(2), a study of the report of the Commission of Inquiry on the events related to Maher Arar.
We will be dealing with all three of those things in the two hours we have before us.
Mr. Filmon, if you wish, you can deal with all three issues in your introductory remarks or deal with them as you wish. Welcome to the committee. You may proceed.
