Welcome back.
We're continuing our study of Haiti and multiple foreign policy instruments focused on Canada's involvement in Haiti.
This afternoon we are pleased to have with us Chief Superintendent David Beer, director general of international policing with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; also, from our Canadian International Development Agency, Suzanne Laporte, vice-president of the Americas branch, and Yves Pétillon, program director for Haiti, Cuba, and the Dominican Republic in the Americas branch.
We welcome you to the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
The procedure here is that we offer opening statements—I know a number of you have opening statements—and then we will move into questions from our committee members.
Welcome. The floor and the time are yours.
