I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number six of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the subject matter under clauses 471 and 472 of BillC-4 a second act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 21, 2013, and other measures.
Our first witness today is our minister, the Hon. Peter MacKay, and with him from the Department of Justice is Laurie Wright, the Assistant Deputy Minister for Public Law.
We have the minister for about an hour.
Is there any opening comment you would like to make, Minister?
