Ed Fast at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I call the meeting to order.

This is meeting 47 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Today is Monday, November 16, 2009.

You have before you the agenda for today. We are finalizing our review of Bill C-36. We have one final witness, Mr. Rick Sauvé. After the witness has testified and we've asked some questions, we'll then move to clause-by-clause.

Welcome, Mr. Sauvé. You've been told what the process is. You have 10 minutes to make an opening presentation and then we'll open the floor to the members for questions.

Please proceed.
