I would like to bring to order the 91st meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. This is a special meeting to review Bill C-66, an act to establish a procedure for expunging certain historically unjust convictions and to make related amendments to other acts.
We have, as witnesses, the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Parole Board of Canada. I understand that if the committee wishes, Ms. Thompson is prepared to make a statement. If the committee doesn't wish a statement, then we can go directly to questions.
What is the will of the committee?
