I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 61 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
We 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.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, September 28, 2022, the committee has commenced consideration of the annual report 2021 of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians.
We welcome today, in person, four representatives of the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians, which I shall henceforth call NSICOP, as everybody else does. We have the Honourable David J. McGuinty, chair; Senator Frances Lankin, member; Lisa-Marie Inman, executive director; and Sean Jorgensen, director of operations.
Welcome to you all. Thank you for being here.
As agreed to prior to the meeting, up to 10 minutes will be given for opening remarks, after which we will proceed with rounds of questions.
Mr. McGuinty, go ahead, if you please. You have 10 minutes.
