The submission you have before you was prepared by the members of the criminal justice section. The executive of the section comprises the officers, who are elected, and the chairs of each of our branch sections—branches in every province and territory in Canada. Those people in turn consult with their various branch section members, and then all of that comes together to form the input you see before you. It's based on principles that have been adopted through our national council—the CBA's parliament, if you will.
