Colleagues, welcome to meeting number 25 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
Just to set the agenda straight, votes are going to cause us some confusion today. The bells will go in 10 minutes for the votes. As a result, unfortunately, our meeting will be interrupted, so there will be some discussion taking place with our witnesses as to the possibility of staying a little longer. I understand flight arrangements would have to be made in order for that to happen, and this committee certainly understands that. Over the course of our break, we will get to that.
Today, we have from Social Capital Partners, Mr. Bill Young, the president. Mr. Young will make a presentation to us very briefly. He'll have up to 10 minutes for that presentation. At that point, we will break as soon as the bells are called. We will go to the House of Commons for our vote, and when we return, if Mr. Young is able to stay for the balance of the period and/or our time, he will be available for questions.
Also, in the second hour, we will have a presentation from Mr. Norm Tasevski from Purpose Capital. At that point, both of our witnesses would be available for questioning from the committee.
At this point, that is the direction the committee is taking, in consultation with some members and, of course, the clerk, and with the cooperation of our guests today.
Mr. Young, you have the floor, sir, for up to 10 minutes, please.
