I call the meeting to order.
This is meeting 5 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights on Wednesday, February 25, 2009.
You have before you the agenda for today. Please note that we have allowed 15 minutes at the end of our meeting to debate Mr. Ménard's motion on adding “social condition” to the Human Rights Act. I understand that Mr. Storseth also wants to move forward with his motion on a human rights review.
Today we are continuing our study on impaired driving. That's why we have the witnesses here today.
First of all, we have with us representatives from the Canada Safety Council, those being Emile Therien and Raynald Marchand. We also have with us the Insurance Bureau of Canada, represented by Dennis Prouse and Robert Tremblay; the Canadian Police Association, with Charles Momy and David Griffin; and finally, the Criminal Lawyers' Association, with Joseph Di Luca and Jonathan Rosenthal.
Gentlemen, welcome. I believe you've been told how much time you have to present. Most of you have 10 minutes. If you can, restrict your comments to that time, because we have a lot of questions we want to ask.
We'll start with either Monsieur Tremblay or Mr. Prouse.
