Thank you, Dr. Patry and Mr. Rae.
Mr. Malok, thank you for rearranging your schedule and coming in a little bit early and adjusting for us. I'm going to give you a chance to make your opening comments now.
Mr. Malok is from the Government of Southern Sudan and is a principal liaison officer.
We welcome you here today. The floor is yours. We'll have you make your opening comments, and then we'll continue with questions and answers from the members of Parliament.
