All right, we will go for 15 minutes. At a quarter after five, my intention would be to go to committee business.
Today we are continuing on our report and our study of the use of electronic monitoring in correctional and conditional release settings, as well as in an immigration enforcement setting, with a view to determining effectiveness, cost efficiency, and implementation readiness.
In our first hour, we have witnesses appearing by video conference. The first is Eric Caton, the president and chief executive officer of Jemtec Inc. in Vancouver, British Columbia. We have a blizzard here in Ottawa, so we almost wish we were with you in Vancouver today. We also have Michael Nuyen from Toronto, Ontario, who is the project manager. Our committee wants to thank both of you for taking the time and effort to appear before us and to share your information with us on this study.
Committee members know that Jemtec Inc. is Canada's leading provider of compliance monitoring solutions used in justice, law enforcement, and the immigration system. I looked at their website and I see they do alcohol monitoring and a number of other things.
First, I offer the two gentlemen the opportunity to have an opening statement before we proceed to questions from members of Parliament. We will begin on the west coast with Mr. Caton, please.
