Good afternoon, everyone.
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to this meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Mr. McDonald to our committee. It's the first time he's been here.
Welcome, Mr. McDonald.
The same is true for Mr. Oliver.
Welcome, Mr. Oliver. It's a pleasure to have you both here.
Today, we are pleased to welcome Réjean Aucoin, president of the Association des juristes d'expression française de la Nouvelle-Écosse and Julie Chamagne, executive director of the Halifax Refugee Clinic. We also have with us representatives from the Barreau du Québec, namely Antoine Aylwin, vice-president and Marc Sauvé, senior advisor, research and legislation services.
Welcome to you all.
We will start with you, Mr. Aucoin. The floor is yours.
