Dave MacKenzie at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I call the meeting to order.

This is meeting 25 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, pursuant to the order of reference of Thursday, December 15, Bill C-26, An Act to amend the Criminal Code (citizen's arrest and the defences of property and persons). Today we are at clause-by-clause consideration. I understand there are a number of amendments being proposed.

Before we start, we'll have just a little housekeeping.

I understand that if the House decides to treat the Thursday before Good Friday as a Friday, we will not have a committee meeting on that date. I'm not sure that decision has been made, but if it does happen, just for planning....
