Colleagues, meeting number 58 of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security is now in session. Of course, at today's meeting we'll be following up, as we have been, on Bill C-51.
As per the schedule, tonight we have three witnesses in the first hour.
We will welcome from Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, Mr. Avi Benlolo, president and chief executive officer.
By video conference from Calgary, we have Mr. Justice John Major. Welcome, sir.
By video conference from Vancouver, we have from the Centre for Immigration Policy Reform, Mr. Martin Collacott. Welcome.
Each witness has up to 10 minutes to make a statement, should they wish, followed by Qs and As. I just bring to the attention of the committee that Mr. Justice John Major has no opening remarks, but of course he is there for Qs and As.
We will go through the order in which we have it on the agenda here and we will start with the opening remarks.
So, Mr. Benlolo, you have the floor, sir.
I just want to check something before you get started.
Justice Major and Mr. Collacott, are you alive and well and all hooked up here?
