Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Carrie. I've never called you “Mr. Carrie” before, but I will in this setting.
Thank you for bringing this forward and for advocating on behalf of victims in our justice system.
I'll start my questions with you this morning.
Can you take a couple of minutes to give us a deeper dive into the inspiration behind this bill and provide some background? I know you talked about Ms. Freeman. This has been in the works for some time.
Can you give us some background on how this came about?
