We will call to order meeting number 23 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. We are meeting pursuant to the order of reference of Thursday, December 15, 2011, in regard to Bill C-26, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (citizen's arrest and the defences of property and persons).
Today we have three witnesses appearing before us.
You've probably heard from the clerk that you get a ten-minute opening address. I will let you know when you're down to nine minutes. It's nothing personal, but we'll cut you off at the ten-minute range.
You're free to start, if you wish, Ms. MacDonnell.
