I call this meeting to order.
I'd like to thank the presenters for being with us this afternoon. From the Nathanson Centre for the Study of Organized Crime and Corruption, we have Margaret Beare, who I understand is a former director. From the Canadian Council of Criminal Defence Lawyers, we have Mr. Trudell and Mr. Andy Rady.
I believe both of you have testified on more than one occasion before the committee, have you not? I know Mr. Rady has for sure.
I would ask for our testimony to begin. Ms. Beare, if you could begin, you have the floor.
