I will call this meeting to order. This is the 24th meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. We are dealing with C-26, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (citizen's arrest and the defences of property and persons).
Today we have two officials from the Department of Justice at the table with us to help us get through the bill. There are other officials in the room if there are questions that need to be answered. We have Joanne Klineberg and Catherine Kane.
If you have some statements you wish to make to begin the meeting, please go ahead.
