Colleagues, we will reconvene for the second hour, though it will be a bit less. We apologize for the short delay. We had some challenges with the video conference, but we're all hooked up and live now.
On behalf of the committee, the chair would like to invite our witnesses to make a brief statement of up to 10 minutes, and hopefully less. After that, we will open the floor to questioning.
With us for the second hour we have, from the Pivot Legal Society, Adrienne Smith, health and drug policy staff lawyer. Welcome. From the Society of Accredited Senior Agents, we have Barry Lebow, founder.
By video conference from Vancouver, we have, from the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition, Donald MacPherson, the executive director.
Time is tight, but how could I miss Mr. Tom Stamatakis, from the Canadian Police Association. Welcome.
We will take you in the order of introduction, so we will start with Adrienne Smith.
