Thank you.
In Vancouver there's a building near my riding that has a slogan painted on it. I'll paraphrase that slogan. It says that you should never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. I just want to say to all of you that this phrase has really been rendered real for me today.
I want to point out, as my colleague did, that when I look at the people speaking, I see community members, ex-inmates, law professors, nuns, prison guards, farmers, first nations, municipal officials, correctional officials--
