Procedure and House Affairs committee  Madam Chair, ladies and gentlemen members of the committee, thank you for inviting me to appear before you. My name is Guy-Vincent Jourdan. I am a professor of computer science at the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Engineering. My research topics include software security and

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, that's correct.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, obviously, the—

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes. To my knowledge, some companies just use Zoom, where everyone takes their turn speaking and raises their hand. I think it all depends on the number of voters.

I would simply state the obvious, which is that it's not related to what we are talking about right
