One of my colleague's first comments makes me realize that you have before you on this committee two former ministers of justice, a former minister of public safety (myself), and two former chiefs of police. This is not because you are appearing, it is probably because of the very fact that we are concerned with public safety. So our views come from our experience and we would like to benefit from yours.
My first question is for Mr. Palmer. Who finances the Canadian Police Research Centre that you represent?
