I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 21 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
Before we begin clause-by-clause consideration, I would like to ask the committee to consider the two budgets members received from the clerk, distributed just a few hours ago and last Friday. The first budget in the amount of $31,500 is for the study of Canada's capacity to remove nationals with criminal records, and the second budget in the amount of $6,500 is for the study on the purpose of clause 371 (division 19) and clauses 380 to 385 (division 21) of Bill C‑15, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on November 4, 2025.
Please note that those are estimated amounts and that the committee may spend less than expected on these studies. Any unspent funds will be returned to the Liaison Committee. If there are any questions, we can put them to the clerk, who can answer them.
Is it the will of the committee to adopt these budgets?
