I call this meeting back to order.
We'll continue our second hour of our study on electronic monitoring.
We are pleased to hear from Mr. James Bonta, director of the corrections research unit in Public Safety Canada. Mr. Bonta is fortunate enough to have sat in on the first hour and heard his work referenced. Certainly we appreciate the work you have done.
I would also say that we do have, I believe, a couple of copies of some of the report referenced earlier on by Professor Nellis. Hopefully we can get that circulated to you, although we don't have a copy for everyone today. We have only one or two copies. We'll see what we can do; if we can find more, anyone who wants one may ask for it.
Mr. Bonta, my understanding is that you have an opening statement. We look forward to hearing from you. Then we'd like you to take a number of questions, as per our format.
Mr. Bonta, welcome to the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
