I'd like to call to order the meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, December 11.
As one matter that's before us on the agenda, we are still finalizing our discussion on Bill C-252, an act to amend the Divorce Act for access for a spouse who is terminally ill or in critical condition.
One of my Conservative colleagues, Mr. Rick Casson, will be presenting, as this is a private member's bill. I would ask that Mr. Casson begin his statement.
