Thank you very much.
(Motion agreed to)
Thank you very much, everybody, for your indulgence.
I have one more reminder, if I may, on the deadline for Bill S-12. It is simply to let everyone know that, if there are any additional amendments to be distributed, I would remind you to please contact Mr. William Stephenson, legislative counsel, as soon as possible. He will ensure that amendments are properly drafted.
I would remind you that clause-by-clause is happening on Thursday, at the next meeting, and all amendments, including subamendments, must be submitted in writing and sent to our committee clerk.
Panellists, welcome. Thank you very much. We will have each of the three of you speak for five minutes. Due to the time restraints that we have, I will go with six minutes for each party and then conclude the first panel.
We have three witnesses: Ms. Robin Parker, counsel; Mr. Colton Fehr, assistant professor, faculty of law, Thompson Rivers University; and Ms. Janine Benedet, professor of law, Peter A. Allard school of law, University of British Columbia, by video conference.
I will have Ms. Robin Parker begin, please.
You will have five minutes, and the clerk will help me keep time as I take notes. I've seen it in other committees. If I hold up red, that means that the time is up.
Thank you very much.
