Thank you, Ms. Barnes.
Would Chief Blair come to the table?
Chief Blair, the committee, of course, has been studying Bill C-10 and the concern over the issue of offences involving firearms. We've had some meetings already, but the debate certainly has not come to any conclusion at this point. We anticipate several more weeks of meetings and witnesses to be heard.
It's our pleasure, certainly, to be in your city. There was unanimous agreement to attend here to get some first-hand information and make ourselves available to whoever would like to speak.
With that, Chief, the floor is yours. Perhaps you could present, and then I know we will have a series of questions.
