Thank you.
Thank you, witnesses, for indulging us. That is the last little piece of work to get a study done that we have been working on as a committee.
We have now moved our attention, at least for the moment, to a bill that has been referred to our committee, Bill C-226, amending the Criminal Code and consequential amendments to other acts.
We have with us today three witnesses, two in person and one by video conference. I'm going to suggest that we begin with the video conference, only because when things go wrong, as they sometimes do, it's easier if we have someone else talking while our technical people heal all wounds. I suggest that we start with a 10-minute presentation from Micheal Vonn, the policy director at the B.C. Civic Liberties Association, and after that we'll hear from Michael Spratt from the Criminal Lawyers' Association, and Abby Deshman from Canadian Civil Liberties Association.
We'll begin first with Ms. Vonn
