We're back.
I would like to welcome the Minister of Justice, the Honourable Sean Fraser.
Thank you, Minister, for being here.
This is a very important topic. We know women are dying from femicide nearly every day in Canada, and sexual assault is at an all-time high, so we appreciate your being here.
We also have, from the Department of Justice, Matthew Taylor, who is senior general counsel and director general, criminal law policy section; and Chelsea Moore, who is senior counsel, criminal law policy section.
Minister, you'll get five minutes for your opening remarks, after which we will proceed to our rounds of questions.
The floor is yours for five minutes.
