I'll call the meeting to order. This is meeting number 16. Pursuant to Standing Order 81(5), we're on the supplementary estimates (B) for 2011-12, with votes on 30b and 35b under the Department of Justice, referred to the committee on Thursday, November 3, 2011.
We're pleased to have the Honourable Rob Nicholson, the Minister of Justice, with us, and Mr. Saunders, as the director of public prosecutions.
