We'll reconvene the meeting. We're continuing our review of Bill C-4.
Returning to us are representatives from the Government of Alberta, the Government of Manitoba, and the Government of Nova Scotia.
From Alberta we have Joshua Hawkes, director of policy appeals, education and policy branch, Department of Justice and Attorney General. From the Government of Manitoba we have David Greening, executive director, policy development and analysis, Department of Justice. The Government of Nova Scotia is represented by Ronald MacDonald, senior crown counsel and criminal law policy advisor for policy, planning and research, Department of Justice.
Gentlemen, you've been asked to come back because since your last appearance before us we've had ongoing correspondence with you. You've made suggestions for some amendments to this bill. We're interested to hear what you have to say. We'll give each of you an opportunity to speak, and then we'll open the floor to questions from the members.
Go ahead, Mr. Hawkes.
