Thank you, colleagues. We will call meeting number 13 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security to order.
Today we are doing clause-by-clause on Bill C-479, and hopefully taking some time at the end for some future business in order to get our agenda set.
Without further ado, we'll head right into clause-by-clause. I would certainly like to thank our clerks and our analysts at this time for putting all the motions that were submitted ahead of time for the consideration and courtesy of the committee into sequence, which certainly will help us deliberate. We will certainly head down that road.
Of course, the first clause that we have before us in short order of sequence, of course, is consideration of the short title, C-479, An Act to Bring Fairness for the Victims of Violent Offenders. At this point, we have consideration from our legislative clerk here that consideration of clause 1 is being postponed pursuant to Standing Order 75(1).
We will go directly now to the new clause 1.1, and from the Liberals, please.
