I call this meeting to order.
Welcome, everyone, on this fine Monday afternoon to meeting number 40 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
I will start by acknowledging that we are meeting on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin people.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of November 25, 2021. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application. The meeting is public.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(4), the committee is commencing consideration of the request by five members of the committee to undertake a study of developments regarding the allegations of political interference in the Nova Scotia mass murder investigation.
I will now open the floor for debate.
Ms. Dancho.
