I'd like to call this meeting to order.
This is meeting 27 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. We are considering the report of the commission of inquiry on the events relating to Maher Arar.
We have with us this afternoon Ms. Margaret Bloodworth, from the national security advisory to the Prime Minister, and associate secretary to the cabinet; and William Elliott, associate deputy minister.
Welcome, very much. We look forward to any information you can give us in relation to this topic. If you have any opening statements or you would like to introduce yourselves, I'll give you a moment to do that.
