Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 32(2) I have the pleasure to table, in both official languages, copies of the RCMP National DNA Data Bank annual report for 2005-06.

This report shows the positive impact that the data bank continues to have in linking DNA profiles to crime scenes and to convicted offenders.
