I'd like to bring this meeting to order. This is the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, meeting number 19. We are continuing today our study of the taser.
We would like to welcome our witnesses to this committee. We look forward to your information and to your answers to our questions.
From the Toronto Police Services Board, we have Mr. Mukherjee. I don't know if I'm pronouncing it quite right. We welcome you here. I got it ninety percent right? I won't ask you to pronounce my name and then we'll be even.
From the Metropolitan Toronto Police Services Board, we have Mr. Federico.
Welcome, gentlemen. The usual practice at this committee is to allow you to have an opening statement. I'm sure the clerk has probably given you a bit of an idea of how we do this. You will have approximately 10 minutes. I'll let both of you present. That will take 20 minutes or so, and then we'll open it up for questions and comments, if that's okay with you.
Mr. Mukherjee, perhaps you'd like to explain your position and then go ahead and make your presentation.
