Good afternoon, everyone. It is a pleasure to welcome you to the justice and human rights committee's meeting on Bill C-46, which we finally can refer to as an “impaired driving law”.
I am absolutely delighted to welcome our witnesses today.
We welcome Mario Harel, who is president of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, and the director of the police service of the city of Gatineau.
Good afternoon, Mr. Harel.
Also, I welcome Charles Cox, the co-chair of the traffic committee, chief superintendent, highway safety division, Ontario Provincial Police; Gord Jones, superintendent, traffic committee, in Toronto; Lara Malashenko, member of the traffic committee and legal counsel for the Ottawa Police Services; and from DUID Victim Voices, Ed Wood, president.
We're going to start with the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.
