I'm sure you will. Thank you, Minister.
I want to welcome everyone to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. We were tight on time, so I didn't announce the meeting properly at the beginning because we wanted to get to questions of the minister and his statement as soon as possible.
This is meeting number 23 and it is televised. The orders of the day are regarding the main estimates of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, the Commissioner for Federal Judicial Affairs, the Courts Administration Service, the Justice department itself, the Director of Public Prosecutions, and the Supreme Court of Canada.
We've had the minister for, unfortunately, a broken-up first hour, but the second hour we're treating as a second panel. It is the officials—I'm getting it right now instead of calling them staff—the officials from the department coming to answer any questions. We're going to start the process all over again as if it's a new panel.
Do you have any opening statements? Do you want to introduce anybody, Mr. Pentney?
