I'm going to call this meeting to order.
This is our 43rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. Pursuant to the order of reference of October 4, we are considering Bill C-22, an act to establish the national security and intelligence committee of parliamentarians and to make consequential amendments to certain acts. This is one of our ongoing meetings as we prepare for amendments and then eventual consideration of the act.
We're very pleased to have Professor Leman-Langlois joining us by video conference from Université Laval.
Also, we have the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Daniel Therrien, and Ms. Fournier-Dupelle, also from the Office of the Privacy Commissioner.
Our usual practice is to start with the witness who is coming to us by video conference just in case things fall apart, which they do from time to time. It will give us more time to get you back online.
For 10 minutes we'll hear from Professor Leman-Langlois. After that we'll hear from the Privacy Commissioner.
Take it away.
