The Chair Liberal Anthony Housefather

I call this meeting to order. This is the second meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.

Today we have invited officials from the Department of Justice to give us an overview of the justice portfolio. I am very pleased to welcome Donald Piragoff, the senior assistant deputy minister in the policy sector, and Alyson MacLean, the acting director of the research and statistics division of the policy sector.

I understand you'll be giving us a 10-minute presentation. Then we're going to have some questions for you. I'd like to turn the floor over to you. Thank you so much for coming to the committee.
