Good afternoon, everyone.
I am replacing our normal chair, Mr. McKay. My name is Pierre Paul-Hus, and the best of luck to my colleagues in the governing party!
Today, we are continuing our study of motion M-161 on the record suspension program, introduced by Wayne Long.
In the first hour, we will be hearing from officials from the Parole Board of Canada and from the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.
I would ask Mr. Churney to begin his opening statement.
