Good morning, everyone.
I call the meeting to order. This is the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. This is meeting number 28, called for Monday, July 5, 2010.
The purpose of the meeting today, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), is to receive a briefing on the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and specifically to hear from Richard B. Fadden, the director of CSIS, to obtain a briefing and permit the committee members to ask questions.
Mr. Fadden, the custom of our committee is to give each person appearing ten minutes for opening statements, which we will be extending to you. Before we do that, we will be administering an oath, sir.
