I'm curious to find out what members opposite think. I'd like a recorded division, please.

In a similar vein, Mr. Chairman, I too would like to wish Mr. Devillers, who is leaving us, the best of luck. He will not be running for re-election in his riding. I've had the good fortune of working with him on countless occasions on this committee and elsewhere. I greatly appreciated working with Paul.
On behalf of the Bloc Québécois, I wish him all the best in his future endeavours, whatever they may be.

Mr. Chairman, I had requested additional information which I have not yet received. One of the witnesses that I wanted to hear from on this very important topic is the Barreau du Québec, which will not come as a surprise to anyone.
I understand our colleague Warawa's impatience. I was in somewhat the same situation as he is yesterday, at the Subcommittee on the Process for Appointment to the Federal Judiciary. The subcommittee concluded that, rather than doing something that is so important in a half-baked and possibly poor way, we were better off continuing the work during the next Parliament.
Mr. Chairman, I have been working on the judiciary appointment process for months. Yesterday I said in the subcommittee that we would be doing a disservice if we were to rush through the work. Gun use and crime is a very important issue. If we were to rush to adopt this bill too quickly, without knowing all of the facts, we would be doing a disservice to a cause which, in itself, is valid. This is why my colleague Lemay and I will be voting against Mr. Warawa's motion.

Thank you very much.
I would like to hear what Ms. Pate has to say on this issue. I would like an answer that is a bit more complete on the impact this will have on the community. First of all, I think it is quite clear that we will be opposing Bill C-215, but I would like to hear your comments on the issue all the same.
It seems to me that the traditional institutions, which are the state, the neighbourhood church, the community group, the local centre or the sports team are no longer able to reach these young men, who are often from poor communities. Of course I believe that we need to work with these people, but if the state is no longer a factor, if these people no longer have confidence in their regular religious groups and the community groups, and if the local sports team is not the way to deal with these young people, how do we reach them? My question is also for Mr. Loewen, because we are talking about communities. It seems to me that the very existence of street gangs, especially in Montreal, where there is some significant violence, proves that the traditional institutions are no longer working. How can we reach these people and then work with them. Who can do this and how?

Mr. Loewen, I would like to hear your comments on the same point.

I'm sorry. I have seven minutes.
Mr. Roach and Mr. Rady, you said that deterrence was negligible. When we raise this point, we are told that even if it doesn't act as a deterrent, at least the individual will be put in jail and, during that period of time, will no longer be walking around with a riffle in our communities, convenience stores and streets. A simple answer, perhaps, but one that has quite an impact. How are we to respond to such a statement?

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the 12th meeting of the Subcommittee on the Process for Appointment to the Federal Judiciary of the Standing Committee on Justice, Human Rights, Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.
Before handing the floor to our witnesses, who have kindly agreed to participate in our debate, I just wanted to mention that the bells will ring at 5:15 for a 5:30 vote. If everybody is in agreement, I would suggest that we end our meeting at 5:00 p.m. That will give us 15 minutes with Robin, our analyst. We had discussed this as being a possibility earlier. It will give us the opportunity to provide him with instructions on drafting the document.
Is that okay with everybody?
Mr. Macklin?

Mr. Robin MacKay has been kept informed of the discussions that have been held, be it between you and me, or between the Conservative Party, the NDP and the Bloc Québécois. He is aware of the points on which we may be able to reach consensus. Throughout this process, from the very beginning, he has been informed of any discussions that we have had that seemed to be leading us to a consensus, including those that we had this morning.
Let us give it a try, even if we have to come back to it later. Are you amenable to such an approach?

Today, we shall hear from witnesses representing three organizations. Firstly, we have the Indigenous Bar Association, represented by Mr. Jeffery Hewitt. Secondly, we will hear from Mr. Rénald Rémillard, Executive Director of the Fédération des associations de juristes d'expression française de Common Law Inc. And lastly, we will hear from Ms. Diane Côté, Director, Community and Government Liaison for the Fédération des communautés francophones et acadienne du Canada.
My apologies, I had understood that Ms. Côté was going to make the presentation. Apparently, that is not the case.
As I am sure you already know, you have 10 minutes to make your presentation. We will then move on to a question and answer period, for which each member of the committee will have seven minutes.
The floor is yours, Mr. Hewitt.

You took 11 minutes, Mr. Rémillard. Evidence, is it not, that I am a man of  exceptional generosity?
We shall now proceed to the question and answer section of our meeting. Each committee member has seven minutes.
The floor is yours, Mr. Moore.
