I call the meeting back to order.
We have two witnesses with us. Each will have five minutes for their introductory comments. I will watch the time carefully, and for the question period as well. We have another 39 minutes, so we will do our best to get as much information as we can within that time.
If there's any further testimony that you would like to give us that you don't have a chance to respond to in your introductory remarks or when you are questioned, I would encourage you to please send it to us in writing.
I will have to watch the time very closely, unfortunately, and may end up having to cut people off. I will be very kind and raise the 30-second mark at 30 seconds. The problem is that when people are on video conference, they don't necessarily see that, which means I have no choice but to interrupt.
Let me start off by welcoming both of you.
I will ask Mr. Benjamin Roebuck, federal ombudsperson for victims of crime, to please commence with his introductory remarks for up to five minutes.
