Thank you, Madame Gladu.
(Motion agreed to)
That's unanimous. Thank you so much. I love this. I hope it will continue throughout the morning.
Welcome to meeting number 100 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
Pursuant to the order adopted by the House on February 14, 2024, the committee is meeting in public to begin its study of Bill C-273, an act to amend the Criminal Code (Corinne's Quest and the protection of children).
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of June 15, 2023. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application. Those on Zoom have been tested for the sound, and it is in order.
First, I want to welcome Peter Julian, the member of Parliament for New Westminster-Burnaby and the sponsor of Bill C-273.
Welcome to the committee. You have five minutes to present to the committee, which will be followed by questions, in the normal course, from members of the committee.
Mr. Julian, the floor is yours.
