I call the meeting to order.
This is meeting number 27 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Today is Monday, June 1, 2009.
You have today's agenda before you. We have three items to deal with.
During the first hour, by order of reference of Monday, April 20, 2009, we will be considering, clause-by-clause, Bill C-25, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (limiting credit for time spent in pre-sentencing custody).
During the second hour, also by order of reference of Wednesday, April 22, 2009, we'll be hearing witnesses on the private member's bill, Bill C-268, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (minimum sentence for offences involving trafficking of persons under the age of eighteen years).
After our regular meeting, we'll be meeting with a delegation of MPs from the Parliament of the Czech Republic. This will be an informal meeting with dinner, after we've adjourned the main meeting.
I want to remind you that this meeting is televised.
We'll move on to clause-by-clause on Bill C-25.
We'll postpone clause 1, which is the title, I believe, Madam Clerk, and move on to clause 2.
(On clause 2)
Monsieur Ménard.
