I call the meeting to order.
This is meeting number 13 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Today is Tuesday, April 20, 2010.
You have before you the agenda for today. For the first hour and a half of today's meeting, we'll continue, and perhaps complete, our study on organized crime. I recognize that further instructions may have to be provided to our analysts. They are working on a first draft of a report.
During the last half hour of today's meeting, we'll hear from John Weston, member of Parliament for West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country. Not bad, eh? He'll be speaking to Bill C-475, which is his private member's bill.
To help us with our organized crime study, we have with us some representatives from Statistics Canada, more specifically from the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics. We have Julie McAuley, who is a director; Mia Dauvergne, a senior analyst; and Craig Grimes, chief/advisor of the courts program. We also have with us John Martin from the University of the Fraser Valley. He's a criminologist at that university.
I think you've been told the process. Stats Canada, you have 10 minutes to present. Mr. Martin, you have 10 minutes to present. Then we'll open up the floor to questions from our members.
Ms. Dauvergne, are you starting?
