Okay, I'd like to call this meeting to order. We're continuing with the second part of meeting number 33 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
We would like to welcome the Minister of Public Safety, the Honourable Stockwell Day. We are dealing today, under Standing Order 108(2), with a study on the arming of Canada Border Service Agency officers.
We welcome you, Mr. Minister. If you have an opening statement, however long, you may go ahead and begin.
