I'm calling this meeting to order.
Welcome, all of you, to meeting number 10 of the public safety committee.
We have, as our witness today, retired Supreme Court justice Mr. Michel Bastarache, who has co-authored a report called “Broken Dreams Broken Lives: The Devastating Effects of Sexual Harassment On Women in the RCMP”. It's a very profound and very disturbing report.
Mr. Justice Bastarache, welcome to the committee. We look forward to what you have to say. Generally, we would ask you to speak for about 10 minutes in opening remarks, and we'd have fully two hours with you.
I apologize for the late start, but it is the new way of doing things when it comes to votes in the House. Again, I apologize for that.
Welcome to the committee. We are very keen to hear what you have to say.
