Welcome to our witnesses, guests, and colleagues for meeting 46 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. Today we will follow up on our study of Bill C-12, an act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act.
We have a slate of witnesses today, three for the first hour and three for the second hour. We've had a little delay; we've been trying to come up with a video conference from Vancouver, and I think we're connected now.
For the first hour we will have, from the John Howard Society of Canada, Catherine Latimer, executive director. Welcome, Catherine.
From the Union of Canadian Correctional Officers, we will have Kevin Grabowsky, national president. Welcome, Kevin.
By video conference, from the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies, we will have Kim Pate, executive director.
Can you hear us well, Ms. Pate?
