Let me bring to order the the sixth meeting of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
I apologize to our witnesses for this 40-minute delay.
I propose, colleagues, that we give some extension of time to them. They made some considerable effort to be here, and I think we should honour their effort to be here to tell us what they are concerned about with respect to systemic racism in policing in Canada.
I will also mention that there is a subcommittee report to be presented. I'll propose doing that towards the end of the meeting.
With that, I will invite Professor Roach, faculty of law, University of Toronto, to speak; along with Melanie Omeniho, president, Women of the Métis Nation.
I'll ask them to speak for seven minutes in the order they are listed on the notice of meeting.
Professor Roach, you have seven minutes, please.
