Ladies and gentlemen, I call this meeting to order.
This is the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights, meeting number 51. Pursuant to the order of reference of Friday, June 20, 2014, today we are dealing with Bill C-32, an act to enact the Canadian victims bill of rights and to amend certain acts.
Members, before we get started, the budget for this committee is in front of you.
Could somebody move that for me?
It's been so moved by Mr. Goguen.
(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Thank you very much.
We have six witnesses today. Each group gets 10 minutes, so there's an hour of presentations. Witnesses will speak in the order in which they appear on the orders of the day.
From the Canadian Bar Association, we have Mr. Gottardi and Ms. Schellenberg; from the Canadian Parents of Murdered Children and Survivors of Homicide Victims Inc., we have Ms. Lindfield; from the Canadian Resource Centre of Victims of Crime, we have Ms. Illingworth; from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, we have Ms. McDonald and Ms. St. Germain; from the Canadian Crime Victim Foundation, we have Mr. Wamback, whom we've seen many times; and from the Canadian Association of Crown Counsel, we have Mr. Woodburn.
Thank you very much for joining us.
