Good afternoon, colleagues, and welcome to the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. This is Tuesday, April 24, 2012.
We are picking up after a two-week break. We welcome each one of you back. It's good that in spite of the change in agenda and the change in voting times, you came out.
Today we are continuing our consideration of Bill C-293, An Act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act (vexatious complainants).
At our meeting today we will hear from the Office of the Correctional Investigator. We have Mr. Ivan Zinger, executive director and general counsel, and Howard Sapers, the Correctional Investigator.
We look forward to your comments in regard to this bill. Even though we're starting a little bit late, hopefully we'll be able to go past 4:30. Because of the change in the agenda and the time, we'll probably just adjourn at that time, if that's all right.
All right, thank you.
Mr. Sapers, if you have an opening comment, we would love to hear from you.
