I call the meeting to order.
This is meeting 44 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. For the record, today is Monday, January 31, 2011. Happy new year to all of you. It's good to be back.
Just by way of explanation, pursuant to the order of reference of Monday, December 6, we're considering Bill C-54, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (sexual offences against children).
Typically we have the minister to start off our review. Unfortunately, the minister wasn't available until Wednesday, so I took the liberty of scheduling in four witnesses today.
We have, first of all, from the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness, Ellen Campbell as well as Sanderson Layng. Welcome to you.
We have, from the Ontario Provincial Police, Detective Inspector Scott Naylor. Welcome.
We also have, representing the Canada Family Action Coalition, Brian Rushfeldt. Welcome.
And finally we have, from my hometown of Abbotsford, Catherine Dawson. I understand you're representing yourself, although you can certainly explain which organizations you're affiliated with.
We'll begin with the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness. Please start, Ms. Campbell.
