Ladies and gentlemen, let's call this meeting to order, please.
This is the 112th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
We are welcoming Minister Goodale and his officials here to talk about Bill C-71. This is the commencement of our study on Bill C-71. I was going to award Minister Goodale frequent flyer points for appearing before the committee, but it appears that I would be prematurely awarding those points because the House has just adopted a Wednesday schedule for Thursday. Therefore, our meeting on Thursday between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. is cancelled and we will have to have some discussion as to how to replace that meeting. We'll do that at the end of this meeting.
Welcome Minister Goodale. We look forward to your remarks and questions.
I'm assuming you'll introduce your officials.
