Maybe we will get started. It's a little after 10 o'clock. We do have a quorum.
We have our first group of witnesses--well, group is the wrong word; I don't believe two constitutes a group. We have with us today, Jenna Hennebry, assistant professor, departments of communication studies and sociology, Wilfrid Laurier University. Jenna, I think we met you in Toronto.
Also, we have François Crépeau, professor of international law. Mr. Crépeau was on our video conferencing last week and it didn't quite work out. Sorry about that. It wasn't your fault. I think the problem originated on this end. We don't even know yet how it came about. In any event, we're not anticipating any problems today--thank heavens.
Welcome to both of you.
It is Monday, and people travel on Monday, trying to get their flights and what have you. Some people might be a little late, but I think we can get started. We have a quorum.
I'll put it in your hands. I imagine you both have opening statements to make. Whoever is going first, please feel free to begin on consideration of part 6, Bill C-50.
Go right ahead.
