I call the meeting to order.
We do have quorum, and I'm assuming other members will join us as we go.
This is meeting number 53 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. Welcome.
I'd like to extend a special welcome to our witness guests today. Thank you for contributing.
This is a continuation of our study of the national security framework. Meetings were held in the fall here in Ottawa, and 10 meetings were held across the country as well. We are picking up a few extra meetings because we thought there was perhaps some evidence we had missed and we wanted to make sure we had a few more groups speak to us. Last week and continuing this week, we have been very pleased that we've had some additional witnesses come to share their wisdom with us.
A couple of you have been here before, and I believe a couple are new. The first panel will be an hour, from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. First the B'nai Brith will give 10 minutes of comments to the committee. Then the Islamic Society of North America will have 10 minutes. Then the committee will ask questions for another 40 minutes, and we'll continue that way.
We'll begin, but I don't know how you're sharing your time.
