I appreciate that.
All in favour of the motion as presented?
(Motion agreed to)
That is carried, so we are going to proceed.
We have one witness with us. Mr. Michael Spratt is from the Criminal Lawyers' Association.
We did have another witness. The operator in British Columbia told the individual that we weren't meeting until 6:30, so they came and went. We're trying to get them back. We'll see what happens. We may not see them before the 4:26 bell, but maybe we will in the next section.
Mr. Spratt, the floor is yours. You have 10 minutes.
