I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 136 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on the Status of Women.
To all members, please wait until I recognize you by name prior to speaking. I'd also like to remind everyone that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Wednesday, September 25, 2024, the committee will commence its study of hate-motivated violence targeting the 2SLGBTQI+ community.
At this point, I would like to welcome our witnesses. From the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, we have Peter Madou, assistant deputy minister, operational intelligence and assessment requirements. From the integrated terrorism assessment centre is Michael Wallis, executive director. From the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, we have Catherine Dubuc, acting director general, hate crimes, and director general, culture, innovation and GBA+.
We will now begin with our opening statements.
I welcome Mr. Madou.
You have the floor for approximately five minutes.
