The Chair Conservative Art Hanger

Order, please.

I call the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights to order. It is Thursday, May 17, 2007. Today we have our discussion on the main estimates for 2007-2008 and vote 35, under justice, for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. The estimates were referred to the committee on Tuesday, February 27, 2007.

With us this morning we have several members from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions: Mr. Brian Saunders, acting director for public prosecutions; Ms. Chantal Proulx, deputy director of public prosecutions; and Mr. Marc Fortin, general counsel and director, corporate services division.

I understand, Mr. Saunders, you will be the person presenting this morning. The floor is yours, then, sir.
