Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to Mr. McKinnon for his presentation.
Mr. McKinnon, I also want to thank you for the leadership you've shown in introducing Bill C-316. It's a testament to your commitment to human rights. As you know, this week marks the 42nd anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
This is a timely discussion. Thank you, Ron, for being here today.
Perhaps you could start by sharing with us a little about the stakeholders you worked with in drafting this legislation and by sharing some stories they shared with you about the importance of this program.
