Ladies and gentlemen, we are resuming.
Thank you very much to our witnesses for their incredible patience and for bearing with us given the votes tonight. We really appreciate it. We're ready to give you our full attention.
I would like to welcome Professor Jocelyn Downie from the faculties of law and medicine at Dalhousie University, who is appearing as an individual; from the Canadian Council of Imams, Mr. Sikander Hashmi; and from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, Mr. Jay Cameron.
Welcome all of you. We very much are interested in hearing from you. We're going to start with Professor Downie.
