I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We are late because of votes. We're going to divide up the time between the two groups. We have two guests.
From Amnesty International, we have Alex Neve, the secretary general of Amnesty International Canada, and I assume Anna Shea is with you.
We have by video conference from Regina, Saskatchewan the president of the Canadian Police Association, Tom Stamatakis.
Mr. Neve, you're first.
