Yes, you're allowed to ask questions, but you are not allowed to debate at all amendments that have not been moved. We're going to terminate it at that.
I will leave it to the Justice officials if they feel they have received questions that they can provide clarification for.
Let me just say this. As the chair of the committee since September, but of course having been on this committee for the last two years, I cannot agree more with each and every one of you who spoke in the beginning. Mr. Brock, Mr. Moore and all of you.... This has been the most cordial and respectful committee, and it should be, because it is the justice and human rights committee. If this is not, then what do we leave for others?
For that, I really want to thank each and every one of you, because I believe you are all here for the right reasons. We are all doing our best to respect each other, recognizing that we don't agree with each other's points.
That's fair. Is that correct?
Now, let me move on to the witnesses who are in front of us. I want to thank you, on behalf of all the members who are here on this committee. You have come today. You came before today. You will likely come back tomorrow, and maybe next week as well. Thank you for your patience, for your courtesy and for your professionalism in dealing with each and every member on the committee as you clarify and do the best job that I know you're here to do for Canadians.
Thank you very much for that.
I'll now let you respond, in the time we have left, to the questions that were raised. The floor is yours.
