Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your excellent presentation, Ms. Wilson, and welcome to the committee.
My thanks to both you and your colleagues for the work you are doing, as high-ranking officials, on the country's behalf.
I have two areas of inquiry. Time permitting, we will get to both of them. One is domestic and one is international.
I think I speak for a number of my colleagues when I say that there is some interest among committee members on the state of our first nations, in particular in terms of vulnerabilities and perhaps also with respect to Correctional Services, disproportionalities in our prison population, and gender violence.
Could you start out by giving us an overview of the state of affairs within Public Safety? What is the thinking currently taking place with respect to providing public safety as a public good, which is really an exercise of providing effective security and safety, but also balancing our charter rights against measures that are in place?
Please bring the committee up to date on that very important area.
