I call the meeting to order. Welcome to meeting 90 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. Pursuant to the order of reference adopted by the House on June 21, 2023, the committee is continuing its study of Bill C-40, an act to amend the Criminal Code, to make consequential amendments to other acts and to repeal a regulation regarding miscarriage of justice reviews. Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. I have two members attending remotely using the Zoom application. They are familiar with the processes of committees. I would like to let members know that the tests were completed successfully. Here with us today once again on our clause-by-clause study of Bill C-40, we have officials from the Department of Justice. Joining us are Julie Besner, senior counsel, and Anna Dekker, senior counsel and deputy director, public law and legislative services sector. Welcome. Colleagues, pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, June 21, we are resuming debate on Bill C-40. (On clause 3) The Chair: We are on amendment NDP-1. This has already been moved. If NDP-1 is adopted, LIB-1 cannot be moved due to a line conflict. House of Commons Procedure and Practice, third edition, states on page 769: Amendments must be proposed following the order of the text to be amended. Once a line of a clause has been amended by the committee, it cannot be further amended by a subsequent amendment as a given line may be amended only once. We will resume debate. Mr. Housefather—
