The Chair Conservative Ed Fast

We'll reconvene the meeting.

We're pleased to welcome two new witnesses.

First, appearing on his own behalf, we have Stephen Schneider, who is an associate professor in the department of sociology and criminology at Saint Mary's University. Welcome.

We also have Robert Purcell, who is counsel with the Nova Scotia Department of Justice. Welcome to you as well.

I think you know the routine. You each get 10 minutes to present, and then we'll open the floor to questions from our members.

Mr. Schneider, why don't you start.
