As we connect with Monsieur Fortin, we'll resume our meeting.
For members' benefit, I have asked the witnesses from our last panel to stay and to be available for questions and answers for the second round because there was not much of an opportunity, especially for the Bloc and the NDP, to ask questions to this very interesting panel.
At this time, I will introduce our second panel of witnesses.
We have the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies, represented by Emilie Coyle, who is the executive director. We also have the Canadian Juries Commission, represented by Mark Farrant, who is the founder and chief executive officer. We also have the Office of the Federal Ombudsman for Victims of Crime, represented by Heidi Illingworth, who is the ombudsperson.
Welcome to our committee. Thank you for being here today.
Just for housekeeping, I have these one-minute and 30-second deadline cards so that you can keep track of your opening remarks. Each organization will have five minutes to present, and then we'll go into questions and answers.
We'll go ahead and start with the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies. You have five minutes.
Please go ahead.
