Rhéal Fortin at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

Thank you, Madam Chair.

I would like to ask the witnesses some questions, if that's possible.

I understand that Bill C-273, the purpose of which is to repeal section 43 of the Criminal Code, is a response to call to action number 6 of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. That's virtually the only reason we have this bill before us.

Would you please explain more clearly the purpose of the final report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission?
