Seeing the clock at 3:30, we'll call the meeting to order, this being meeting 43 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, June 20, 2012, today we are considering Bill C-36, an act to amend the Criminal Code, known as elder abuse.
We have some witnesses before us today. Just before we get to that, I would say that for a variety of reasons, Thursday's meeting will be cancelled. The clerk has notified witnesses, some of whom are out of town. We'll cancel Thursday's meeting, and as for the witnesses who were scheduled for Thursday, we'll try to have them here for the following Tuesday.
