Thank you for your patience as we switched over to the second panel.
I'd like to welcome our witnesses for the second hour today.
As an individual, we have Heidi Tworek, professor of history and public policy, University of British Columbia. Welcome, Ms. Tworek.
From CIVIX—which I'm familiar with from some local programs in Barrie, as I'm sure other members of Parliament are—we have Kenneth Boyd, the director of education.
In person from the Russian Canadian Democratic Alliance, we have Maria Kartasheva, the director, and Guillaume Sirois, who is counsel.
We're going to start with you, Professor Tworek. You have up to five minutes to address the committee with an opening statement.
Go ahead, please. Thank you.
