The Chair Conservative Art Hanger

I would like to call the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights to order on this Monday, February 5, 2007. We will renew our study on the judicial appointment process.

I would like to ask the media if they wouldn't mind leaving now with their cameras. I appreciate that.

Before us, as noted on the agenda, the Honourable Rob Nicholson, Minister of Justice, will be testifying. He has two Department of Justice officials with him: Donald Buckingham, judicial affairs adviser; and Judith Bellis, general counsel.

Minister, I'd like to thank you for appearing. If you would like to begin, you have the floor.
