I'd like to call the meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights to order.
The order of reference on this day, April 25, is to review sections 25.1 to 25.4 of the Criminal Code, protection of persons administering and enforcing the law.
I'd like to thank you, gentlemen, for your appearance here.
We have the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, as well as a member from the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Canada, Mr. Barry MacKillop.
Mr. MacKillop, I would like you to begin your presentation. You have approximately ten minutes. Whatever the wishes are of the committee, there could be questions following or you may wait until the RCMP make their presentations.
Mr. MacKillop, would you present?
