I call this meeting to order.
This is meeting number 69 of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, September 24, 2014, we're dealing with Bill C-587, an act to amend the Criminal Code (increasing parole ineligibility). We are dealing with clause-by-clause today.
We are joined by John Giokas from the Department of Justice, in case there are any questions.
John, thank you for coming.
We are going to do clause by clause, but just before we get going, the bells will soon start ringing, and if we have some time after this is done, I have some things to discuss about what we will next Wednesday and for the rest of today.
Pursuant to Standing Order 75(1), consideration of clause 1, the short title, will be postponed.
(On clause 2)
Madam Boivin.
