Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for being here.
Thank you to the members from Vic PD for your input on amendments. We're certainly open to considering those. I think they will come in the line-by-line portion.
I'd also really like to thank you, Jo-Anne, for your courage, sharing your story, being here to support and, most importantly, speaking to the impact of those parole hearings. I know you've been advocating for many years for both education and other law reforms. This ties almost directly to your case, although there were some minor changes. The main focus is helping us best understand the impact this bill will have.
Maybe you could describe in your own words the parole hearing process and what it has meant for your family emotionally and practically. We discussed a few points, but if you could, please share some of those, and then I might remind you of some of the things we discussed.
