Thank you very much, Mr. La Flèche.
We can now move on to questions.
Colleagues, there is one thing I want to remind us, as parliamentarians. I'm glad we are studying this issue. It is a top-of-mind issue for all Canadians and it's an emotional one. One thing I think this committee does very well is that we are principled in trying to get to the bottom of the facts.
I would ask that you be principled and tough with your questions today, but it is my job to make sure that we maintain integrity. Please be mindful of that in your interventions with our witnesses here today.
With that, I will start with Ms. Rood for up to six minutes.
