Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Minister and department heads, thank you very much for coming today. You've been so far very informative, and I know there's more to come.
Minister, yesterday you made an important announcement about additional actions the government is going to take with regard to the sex offender registry and the DNA databank. Would you mind explaining how these proposed changes are helping better to protect Canadians and also are assisting law enforcement officers in investigating and preventing these offences?
