Okay. We will bring our meeting to order now. I want to welcome everyone here today as we continue our hearing on detention centres and security certificates.
For Mr. MacDonald's information, we've already sent our report on detention centres to the House of Commons; however, we can still hear evidence and we're very pleased to be hearing from you this morning, Mr. MacDonald.
Just by way of a brief introduction, Mr. MacDonald is a U.K. lawyer specializing in immigration and criminal law. He is a senior barrister with Garden Court Chambers, which is dedicated to civil liberties and social justice.
We want to welcome you here this morning, Mr. MacDonald.
