Thank you. You've had the last word, Mr. Komarnicki.
I thank the witnesses for being here today. Be assured that we share many of your concerns and we will be working diligently toward a resolution of your problem.
We will ask witnesses to leave the table for our second panel to come to the table.
I want to welcome our second panel to the table this morning. Panel two is Barry Edmonston, who is a professor in the department of sociology at the University of Victoria; Donald Galloway, a professor of law at the University of Victoria; and from the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, Jason Gratl, president, and Christina Godlewska, who is a student.
I think you are aware of the drill. I will go first of all to Mr. Edmonston for his opening comments, which will be approximately five minutes in length.
Please proceed.
