I see we have quorum, so I call this meeting to order.
This is the eighth meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. We are doing our study on the findings and recommendations of the Iacobucci and O'Connor reports.
We would like to welcome our witnesses to the table this morning. We have Mr. Paul Kennedy, chair of executive services for the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP, together with Michael MacDonald, the director. From the Security Intelligence Review Committee, we have Steve Bittle, Susan Pollak, and Sylvie Roussel.
We welcome you all to our table and look forward to the testimony you will give us. I am sure it will be very helpful in our study.
The usual practice here is to allow you to have an opening statement of approximately 10 minutes. We're not too strict on that because we look forward to the information you give us, and that's more important.
Mr. Kennedy, please go ahead.
