Let's commence the meeting. It's 8:45, and we want to respect everyone's time.
Notwithstanding all the noise to the contrary coming from the Liberal side, I'm going to get the 76th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security started.
We have two witnesses in the first hour. We have Brenda McPhail of the the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. As an individual, we have Eric Jacksch.
Given the temerity of technology, I'm going to ask Ms. McPhail to speak first in anticipation that we might have some sort of technological failure. Then, colleagues, I'm going to reserve five minutes at the end of the meeting to go in camera to receive the subcommittee's report.
The floor is yours, Ms. McPhail.
