Thanks so much.
Thank you for being here today. It's my first time in Edmonton, although I've been right across Alberta.
I am Julie Dzerowicz. I am the member of Parliament for Davenport, which is a riding in downtown west Toronto. I spent about 20 years in the business world and co-founded an environmental group. My mother though—and I don't think anybody else knows this—actually comes from a farming family, so I know through her a lot about rural life.
I'm also president of the Canada-NATO Parliamentary Association, so I do a lot of work on national security and defence.
It's a real pleasure to be here. Thank you.
