I'd like to call the meeting back to order, please.
Welcome.
This is the second hour of our study of the main estimates for 2026-27 of the Department of Justice. We still have the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada present, along with the department officials. Thank you for staying.
We will have an opening statement from the minister, if he wishes, followed by questions from the members of the committee.
We need to reserve a few minutes at the end to vote on the 12 items under the Department of Justice. Please remember that we have 12 items to vote on in the end.
Minister, I don't know if you have any further opening remarks. Perhaps we'll jump right into questions.
