I call the meeting to order. Welcome, colleagues. This is meeting number 88 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. We are here today to continue our study of Bill C-40, an act to amend the Criminal Code, to make consequential amendments to other acts and to repeal a regulation on miscarriage of justice reviews. I think you all know the rules by now, but I'm happy to read them at some point, if need be. With us today we have two witnesses from the Department of Justice. They are Julie Besner, senior counsel, public law and legislative services sector, and Shannon Davis‑Ermuth, acting general counsel and director. Welcome. I'm ready to start the clause-by-clause. Before I do so, I will recognize Monsieur Fortin on a point of order.

Thank you, Madam Chair. I just want to mention that, a little while ago, we received two notices of meetings for two meetings being held tomorrow. That isn't in keeping with the rules of procedure, which require 48 hours' notice, so I would ask that you revise the notices of meetings. If you really want the committee to meet Saturday or Sunday, please tell me, but holding a meeting tomorrow seems to be in breach of the rules.
