John McKay at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

I think I would entertain a motion that way. In a heartbeat, I would even find it in order and with an insistence that the Parliament fund it. The alternative would be that you'd have to fund it, Mr. Picard.

With that, I want to welcome our witnesses. The John Howard Society is represented by Catherine Latimer and Lawrence Da Silva, both of whom are here, and the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies is represented by Savannah Gentile and Alia Pierini.

I'll just call on you, in the order in which you're listed as witnesses, unless you have a better idea.

With that, the floor is yours, Ms. Latimer.
