Thank you.
I'm Gaylene Schellenberg, a lawyer with the legislation and law reform directorate of the Canadian Bar Association. As we regularly appear before your committee and have previously appeared on this bill, I know that you're familiar with the CBA.
With me today is Rick Stroppel, who is counsel for the youth criminal defence office in Edmonton and a member of the CBA's national criminal justice section. Mr. Stroppel will handle the substance of our brief and respond to any questions.
Thank you.
