If I may, I'm going to bring this meeting to order. This is the 103rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. We have as our guest this morning Daniel Jean, national security and intelligence adviser.
Prior to calling on Mr. Jean, I'm going to ask that all of the camerapeople remove themselves.
Second, there has been some conversation among the members of the committee, and we will observe a moment's silence in light of the tragedy in Humboldt. If you would rise with me, we will be silent for a moment.
[A moment of silence observed]
Thank you.
As I said, our guest this morning is Daniel Jean, national security and intelligence adviser to the Prime Minister.
Mr. Jean, you certainly seem to be able to attract a crowd, but you're welcome to the committee regardless. I understand that you have an opening statement. Thereafter, you know the order of questions. With that, I'll call on you for your opening statement.
