This is meeting number 11 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Today is Wednesday, March 25, 2009.
You have before you the agenda for today. We are continuing our study on organized crime in Canada. We welcome a number of organizations and individuals as witnesses for our study.
Representing the Vancouver Board of Trade is Darcy Rezac and Dave Park. We also have the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, represented by Mike Cabana. Finally, we have the National Parole Board, represented by Jean Sutton.
I think all four of you know that we've just undertaken this study on organized crime across Canada. We're hoping that the evidence we glean from this committee will be used to prepare a report that will help us move forward in the fight against organized crime.
We're very grateful to you for appearing today. The normal process is that each organization will be given 10 minutes to present.
We'll begin with Mr. Rezac.
