I would like to bring this meeting to order. This is the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, meeting 36. It is a study of federal corrections, focusing on the mental health and addiction aspects of that system.
We would like to welcome this morning, from the John Howard Society of Canada, Mr. Craig Jones, the executive director, and the former executive director of the John Howard Society, Mr. Graham Stewart. Welcome, gentlemen.
The usual practice at this committee is to allow each of you an opening statement of approximately ten minutes, and then we'll move to discussion time with questions and comments. We look forward to your presentation.
Who would like to go first? Mr. Stewart. Go ahead, sir.
