Thank you very much.
Our orders of the day, pursuant to the order of reference of Monday, April 28, are that we commence consideration of Bill C-13, an act to amend the Criminal Code, the Canada Evidence Act, the Competition Act and the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Act. We are fortunate to have here today the Honourable Peter Gordon MacKay, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General, with his staff to kick off the discussion of this legislation that has been referred to this committee.
Minister, the floor is yours.
