Welcome, everyone.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), our study on the Canadian and international disaster response and the situation in Haiti will commence.
I want to thank the Canadian Red Cross for being here today. I know an informal meeting was set up with some members and it was very informative and we're glad we could have you back officially and on the record. We can go from there.
Susan, will you be speaking? We'll give you ten minutes to make your statement and then all committee members will have a chance to ask some follow-up questions on what we're doing.
Ms. Johnson, thanks for being here. The floor is yours.
