Welcome, colleagues, to meeting number five of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
You have a copy of the orders of the day. We'll be hearing from our witnesses and then going to future business, when we'll be having a report from our clerk as to the status of our witnesses, what would be available and what's not, and where we need to go with that. We will deal with that under future business, so we can get some clarity moving forward.
We also have a motion from Mr. Easter to deal with.
At this particular time, we will go directly to our first witness. I would certainly like to welcome Bob Rich, the chief constable from Abbotsford.
Welcome to the public safety committee, Bob. We look forward to your thoughts, and we know we will have some questions that you might be totally comfortable with. I'm hoping you have an opening statement you'd like to make to us.
