Good afternoon, everyone.
This is meeting number 33 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. Today is Monday, October 18, 2010.
Our orders of the day require us to go in camera for the consideration of the draft report “Federal Corrections: Mental Health and Addiction”.
Before we begin, I just want to say that at the conclusion of our meeting today, I'd like to take a few moments to look at a couple of things regarding future business.
We have a budget for bringing witnesses here for the G-8/G-20 discussions. It is in the amount of $28,400, which works out to $1,200 per witness, with a per diem as well. So we will discuss that at the end, as well as a little bit about the Wednesday meeting.
Before we go in camera, however, Mr. Davies has asked to make a statement, and we certainly welcome Mr. Davies to do that.
