I would like to bring this meeting to order. This is meeting 46 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
This morning we are dealing with a review of the witness protection program. From the Commission for Public Complaints Against the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, we have Mr. Paul Kennedy, the chair, and Mr. Brooke McNabb, the vice-chair. We welcome you and we look forward to the information you will be giving us.
I would like all portable media to please vacate the room. I would like to advise the committee that we had very short notice here from the CBC that they would like to tape this session, so I'm just advising you of that.
Without further ado, Mr. Kennedy, are you going to lead off with a statement? You have approximately ten minutes, if you wish.
