Colleagues, we'll call this second half of our meeting to order. We will go until 10 minutes to one. At that point, we will go in camera for future business, but we will try to get through as much as we can.
We are going to welcome here today Mr. Ian McPhail, the interim chair of the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP, and Richard Evans, the senior director of operations. From British Columbia via video conference, we are welcoming Mr. Geoffrey Cowper, former chair of the British Columbia Justice Reform Initiative.
I think we will start off with Mr. Cowper.
While we have you on video conference, sir, you have the floor for up to 10 minutes for an opening statement.
As well, our other guests have up to 10 minutes for an opening statement. Then, of course, we will follow that with questions from the members.
Mr. Cowper, you have the floor, sir. Please carry on.
