Thank you.
I remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair. If you wish to speak, raise your hand—including you, Mr. Fortin, on Zoom. The clerk will manage the speaking order.
There are no questions for the officials, but, having said that, I want to welcome our witnesses: Kristen Ali, manager and senior counsel, criminal law policy section; Joanna Wells, senior counsel and team lead, criminal law policy section; and Marianne Breese, counsel, criminal law policy section.
We're all here as a result of this bill being here, first of all, but also pursuant to the order that was passed in the House of Commons yesterday. The order was adopted yesterday that the meeting cannot be adjourned until we conclude our study of clause-by-clause of this bill.
Once we begin the meeting, which we have, questions will be put, beginning with new clause 11.1 and its subamendment, which was debated when we adjourned on February 25, and then we'll go to the subamendment from Mr. Brock to Mr. Lawton's amendment CPC-8.1, followed, in order, by other amendments as stated in the agenda. Votes will continue forthwith, successively, on the remaining clauses and other votes necessary to dispose of Bill C-9 at the committee stage.
Let's get right into this.
