This being the first meeting of the justice committee for the 41st Parliament, I want to thank you for the honour of serving as your chair. I look forward to working with everyone.
I think in the 41st Parliament the committees will function in a different manner from what they did in the 40th Parliament. Certainly I look forward to that, and I think Canadians look forward to the change in the tone of the committees.
The very first order of business is the routine motions, the business of the committee.
Mr. Jean.
