I call the meeting to order.
This is meeting number 37 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Today is Tuesday, November 23, 2010. You have before you the agenda for today. We're continuing our review of Bill S-6, an act to amend the Criminal Code and another act, dealing with the faint hope clause.
Before we move to Bill S-6, your steering committee met earlier today, and a copy of the report is in front of you. Is anyone prepared to move adoption of that steering committee report?
Moved by Mr. Dechert.
(Motion agreed to) [See Minutes of Proceedings]
Moving on to Bill S-6, to assist us in our review we have one witness with us in the first hour, Mr. Patrick Altimas, director general of the Association des services de réhabilitation sociale du Québec.
Welcome. I think you've been told you have ten minutes to present, and then we'll open the floor to questions from our members. Please proceed.
