I call to order this meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
I'd like to welcome today's witnesses. It's a great pleasure to welcome Mr. Joe Arvay, who was the lawyer in the Carter case. I have to say that probably one of his greatest accomplishments is being a previous law partner of Mr. Rankin, or we could say the reverse, perhaps, too.
We have Mr. Graydon Nicholas, who is a former lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick.
We have Professor Udo Schuklenk, who is a professor and holds the Ontario research chair in bioethics at Queen's University.
We're going to go to Mr. Arvay to start.
