Let's commence, ladies and gentlemen.
This is the 128th meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. We have before us three sets of witnesses: St. John Ambulance, the Ottawa Police Service and Urgence Bois-Francs Inc.
We're about five minutes late starting, so we will extend the time by a further five minutes. Why don't I call you in the order that you're listed, which is the Ottawa Police Service first, Urgence Bois-Francs Inc. second, and St. John Ambulance third.
Gentlemen, we look forward to your opening statements.
