No problem, Mr. Fortin.
Thank you to the witnesses for appearing on such short notice, as we decided on the priority of this only on Tuesday.
Today we have, from the Canadian Police Association, Tom Stamatakis, president. From the National Police Federation, we have Brian Sauvé, president; and from the Toronto Police Association, we have Clayton Campbell, president.
Thanks to all three for your service.
I will remind the witnesses that you have five minutes for your opening statements followed by questions from members of the committee. We have adopted, in previous meetings, the timeline restricted to each member.
I'll go in the order I presented you.
Mr. Stamatakis, you go first, then Mr. Sauvé goes second, and then Mr. Campbell goes third.
Welcome, and please go ahead.
