Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to all the witnesses for your attendance today and for your interest and concern on this very important and sometimes difficult topic.

To Mr. Mia, would you agree with Mr. Vernon's statement, and a statement that's been said by others, that the first duty of the state is to protect the safety and ensure the security of its citizens?
