I would like to call the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights back to order.
To continue with our business of the day, we have the Honourable Rob Nicholson, Minister of Justice, to testify before the committee, as well as Department of Justice counsel, Greg Yost, and Royal Canadian Mounted Police senior legal counsel, Mr. David Bird.
Welcome, gentlemen.
I would like at this point to turn the floor over to Minister Nicholson on his discussion regarding DNA identification.
