Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the 49th meeting of the Standing Committee on National Defence. Pursuant to the order of reference of Monday, December 6, 2010, today we are studying Bill C-41, An Act to amend the National Defence Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts. I would like to welcome our witnesses, Michael Spratt and Constance Baran-Gerez, from the Criminal Lawyers' Association of Ontario.
Thank you for being with us.
Before giving you the floor, I will give the floor right now to Monsieur Bachand.
Mr. Bachand, you may now speak to one of your motions.
