I'll call this meeting to order. Good morning everyone.
This is meeting number 69 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, Thursday, February 7, 2013.
This morning we're going to continue in our study of the economics of policing in Canada. We're very pleased this morning to have, in our first hour, the deputy commissioner of federal policing, Mike Cabana. He's with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Welcome. He is accompanied by Superintendent Angela Workman-Stark, director of federal policing re-engineering. Our committee wants to thank you for appearing.
I came in at about 8:15 or 8:10, and they were here. They were at their post and they were ready to go, so we thank you for that.
If you have an opening statement, we look forward to hearing it. Then we will go into the first round of questioning.
