I'm going to call to order meeting number 44 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
The orders of today are, as per the order of reference of Monday, June 16, 2014, Bill C-36, An Act to amend the Criminal Code in response to the Supreme Court of Canada decision in Attorney General of Canada v. Bedford and to make consequential amendments to other Acts.
We are being covered by, I believe, CBC and Sun TV. All cameras are fixed. The one behind us is the camera that will be used. It will be fixed only on those who are speaking and is not to be used to pan the room.
We are joined by witnesses from the Department of Justice, in case there are any questions about the clauses or amendments that may be brought forward.
Madame Boivin, you have your hand up before we start the clause-by-clause consideration.
