Mr. Matthew Taylor (General Counsel and Director, Criminal Law Policy Section, Department of Justice) at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair. My colleague, Ms. Bouchard, will deliver our presentation.

Before she does that, I want to alert you and committee members to an additional Justice colleague who is with us, Ms. Susan McDonald, principal researcher, from our research and stats division. She will be able to help answer questions as well.
