I call the meeting to order.
This is meeting number 23 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. For the record, today is Thursday, June 10, 2010. Today's meeting is being televised.
You have before you the agenda. 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.
To help us with the review, we have a number of witnesses. First of all, representing the New Brunswick Office of the Ombudsman, we have Bernard Richard.
We also have the Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children, represented by Katherine Vandergrift.
We have the Institut Philippe-Pinel de Montréal. Representing them is Cécile Toutant.
We have New Brunswick Association of Social Workers, Miguel LeBlanc, as well as Merri-Lee Hanson.
Welcome to all of you.
You have ten minutes to present per organization, and then we'll open the floor to questions.
Would you start, please, Monsieur Richard?
