Ed Fast at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I call the meeting to order.

This is meeting number 26 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Today is Wednesday, May 27, 2009.

You have your agenda before you. Pursuant to the order of reference of Friday, March 27, 2009, we're considering clause-by-clause on Bill C-15, An Act to Amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other acts.

We have with us today Paul Saint-Denis, who is here representing the criminal law policy section. Welcome.

We will move to clause-by-clause.

I call clause 1.

Monsieur Ménard.
