I call the meeting to order. This is meeting number 21 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. For the record, today is Thursday, June 3, 2010.
Members, you have before you the agenda for today. We're continuing with our review of Bill C-4, Sébastien's Law, an act to amend the Youth Criminal Justice Act and to make consequential and related amendments to other acts.
I was hoping to actually have a planning meeting in camera at the end of today's meeting, but given the fact that we're already starting late and we have three panels to deal with, we may not get to that. If we have some extra time, we'll discuss some committee business.
Today's meeting, as I mentioned, is divided into three panels. We have our first panel with us. First of all, we have William Trudell, representing the Canadian Council of Criminal Defence Lawyers. Welcome back. We have the Canadian Bar Association, represented by Scott Bergman and Gaylene Schellenberg. Welcome back to you, as well. And finally, we have, as an individual, Simon Fournel-Laberge. Welcome.
I think you've been told that each organization, or each individual, has ten minutes to present. Then we'll open the floor to questions. If you can do your presentation in less time, it will leave more room for questions. And given that we have a fairly limited timeframe, I'd appreciate your definitely staying within the ten minutes.
We'll start with Simon.
