I call this meeting to order.
Good morning, everyone. Welcome to meeting number 39 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. Pursuant to the February 26 agenda and Standing Order 81(4), the committee is meeting today as part of its study of main estimates 2026–2027.
I would now like to welcome the Minister of Public Safety and all the many dedicated officials accompanying him today, who I believe will be here for the second hour—which allows us to proceed immediately to the minister's opening remarks for five minutes.
