Committee, it's great to have you all here tonight.
This is the 26th meeting of the procedure and House affairs committee on our study of Bill C-23.
We have three witnesses tonight. We have Raji Mangat, counsel from the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association; Leilani Farha, executive director of Canada Without Poverty; and from the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Cara Zwibel, and I've been her tour guide earlier today.
We're all set tonight and we've decided that for opening statements we will start with Ms. Farha.
Ms. Farha, you have five minutes or less, please.
