Thank you, Mr. Bevilacqua, and thank you, Ms. Hennebry and Mr. Crépeau, for your testimony today. We will be doing a report, as you know, and we advise you to stay tuned.
We will call the Canadian Bar Association forward: Stephen Green is the treasurer and Kerri Froc is the legal policy analyst.
Maybe we can begin. We're about 10 minutes late. Sorry, Mr. Green and Ms. Froc, to keep you waiting, but we had people who were enthusiastic about their questions and wanted to get them in. I do welcome you here today from the Canadian Bar Association. I think you've been here before, so you know the drill and how it's done.
I invite you to make your opening statements, after which our committee members will engage in some comments and questions and what have you.
Welcome. Thank you for coming.
