I'd like to call the meeting back to order.
We'll get going quickly here with our second panel of witnesses.
We have, from the Canadian Police Association, Tom Stamatakis, president; from Humane Canada, Kerri Thomson, manager, justice and legislative affairs; and from Rise Women's Legal Centre, Vicky Law, executive director.
You've all had your sound test completed.
Thank you for coming.
We're going to do opening comments, followed by questions. We'll give each of the witnesses up to five minutes for their opening statements. After all three have finished, we'll go to questions.
Ms. Law, you were nodding your head in agreement, so I'm going to start with you.
