Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights | Meeting No.1 Jun 17, 2025 (Full Meeting)

Meeting No.1 Jun 17, 2025 (Full Meeting) The Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights (JUST) is a permanent Canadian House of Commons committee that examines bills, policies, and spending for the Department of Justice and related agencies, focusing on justice, legal, and human rights issues like criminal law, privacy, discrimination, and fundamental freedoms, with powers to propose legislative changes and scrutinize government actions in these crucial areas. The committee meeting begins with the election of a chair and vice chairs. The clerk announces that only motions for the chair can be entertained. The honorable Mark Miller is nominated by Mr. Maloney, who praises Miller's qualities and experience. The motion to elect Miller is carried unanimously. The election of the first vice chair follows, requiring a member from the official opposition. Mr. Brock is nominated, and the motion is carried. Brock expresses his gratitude and commitment to collaborative work within the committee. Next, the committee proceeds to elect the second vice chair, which must be a member of an opposition party other than the official opposition. Mr. Elwa is nominated and elected unanimously. He also expresses gratitude and a commitment to respectful discussions. Chair Miller outlines rules for speaking during the meeting, emphasizing that members should wait to be recognized before speaking. The committee then reviews routine motions that govern their internal operations, with all motions being accepted without objection. Several routine motions related to procedural matters, such as travel for witnesses and document distribution, are discussed and adopted. The committee shows a spirit of cooperation in their decision-making process. As the meeting progresses, a motion to adjourn is proposed. Members debate the timing and necessity of the adjournment, with some arguing the urgency to address crime-related issues. Ultimately, the motion to adjourn is carried, concluding the meeting.
