I call the meeting to order. The clock says 11, but it's never been properly set and apparently it's three minutes fast.
This is meeting 35 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, February 15, 2012, Bill C-309, an act to amend the Criminal Code.
Today we have two witnesses, one appearing by video conference. The other witness, Mr. Patrick Webb, is here with us. I think the witnesses have heard from the clerk that we accord them five to seven minutes for an opening address.
Mr. Stribopoulos, if you would care to begin, please go ahead. I'll let you know when you're down to one minute left in your time.
