I call the meeting back to order.
I want to welcome everyone back for the next hour and a half for our second panel.
I am not going to repeat all the instructions. I know that several of the witnesses have been here before. I will just remind you to be gentle with the microphone and not to speak too close to it. That is to protect the interpreters. If there are any questions, there are instructions on the table. Those online are no doubt used to Zoom, but I will remind you that there is a “raise hand” feature to ask to be given the floor.
Each group represented by witnesses will have five minutes, which means that Mr. Gélinas and Mr. Wall, from the Service de la police de la Ville de Montréal or SPVM, will have to share a total of five minutes. Then we will go to the BC Crown Counsel Association, the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police and the Centre for Trauma Informed Practices for five minutes each.
I'll briefly present the witnesses.
I'm sorry for firing through this, but we had a slight delay with voting, so we want to get going and have time for the members to pose appropriate questions.
We have two former members of the SPVM, André Gélinas, retired detective sergeant, and Stéphane Wall, retired supervisor.
From the BC Crown Counsel Association, we have Adam Dalrymple, who is online.
From the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, we have Commissioner Thomas Carrique.
From the Center for Trauma Informed Practices, we are joined by Pat Rivard, director of Canadian operations, by video conference.
It's over to you, Mr. Gélinas and Mr. Wall, for five minutes.
