Justice committee  Congratulations. I invite you to take the chair.

Justice committee  I call the meeting to order. Good afternoon, honourable members of the committee. I see quorum. I must begin by informing members that the clerk of the committee can only receive motions for the election of the chair. The clerk cannot receive other types of motions and cannot entertain points of order or participate in debate.

Justice committee  It's Monday at 5:30.

Justice committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was not aware that I would have to do that now. We will circulate an invitation about an event about Ukraine on Friday night. It will be circulated tomorrow morning. It's from the Parliamentary Centre.

Justice committee  Ms. St‑Laurent, if you look at the bottom of your screen, you'll see a button for interpretation. Click on it and select French. Then you'll get the interpretation.

Justice committee  Ms. St‑Laurent, could you please put on your headset, unmute yourself, and talk for 15 to 20 seconds about anything, like the weather where you are, so we can do a sound test?

Justice committee  Everything is working fine. Thank you.

Justice committee  It seems so, Mr. Chair, as far as I can see.

Justice committee  Sure, Mr. Chair. The documents are still in translation. They were a bit voluminous. That's the reason they're not available now, but they will be as soon as possible.

Justice committee  Good afternoon, Mr. Fortin. We are going to try to get the problem fixed. Mr. Sarai is asking me whether we can continue the meeting in the meantime and give you back the floor to ask your questions once the problem has been fixed.

Justice committee  We have Mr. Brock, Mr. Chair.

Justice committee  Mr. Garrison, as the meeting was going on, I updated the calendar, so I can circulate it pretty soon, maybe even after the meeting.

Justice committee  Yes, I will. This is the best we can do so far, Mr. Chair.

Justice committee  Sure. Yes. If November 3 is a full two-hour meeting, it would be good to have five or six more witnesses, in terms of giving us room if any decline or whatnot.

Justice committee  Do you mean who has confirmed for November 3 so far?
