I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 89 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.
Pursuant to the order of reference adopted by the House on June 21, 2023, the committee's continuing its study of Bill C-40, an act to amend the Criminal Code, to make consequential amendments to other acts and to repeal a regulation regarding miscarriage of justice reviews.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders.
We have with us two returning witnesses from the Department of Justice.
We welcome Ms. Julie Besner, senior counsel, Public Law and Legislative Services Sector, and Ms. Shannon Davis-Ermuth, acting general counsel and director.
I'm going to continue with the clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-40. We were on clause 2.
