Thank you. All this feels oddly familiar.
I call this meeting to order. Welcome to the public portion of meeting number 90 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Monday, March 27, 2023, the committee commences its study of Bill C-26, an act respecting cyber security, amending the Telecommunications Act and making consequential amendments to other acts.
I would now like to welcome our witnesses today. From the Communications Security Establishment, we have Sami Khoury, head, Canadian Centre for Cyber Security, and Daniel Couillard, director general of partnerships and risk mitigation at the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security.
To support the Communications Security Establishment, from the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, we have Colin MacSween, director general of the national cybersecurity directorate; and Kelly-Anne Gibson, director of the cyber-protection policy division. From the Department of Industry, we have Andre Arbour, director general of the telecommunications and Internet policy branch.
I now invite Mr. Khoury to deliver his opening statement.
Please go ahead.
