The Chair Conservative Dean Allison

Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we will continue with a briefing on the situation in Somalia. Once again we have our officials here. I want to welcome all of you from CIDA.

I believe that Stephen Salewicz, the director of the international humanitarian assistance division, will be making an opening statement. We also have Mr. Boyd again, and then joining us is Mr. Baker, who has been here before. Welcome back.

I will turn the floor over to you for your opening statement.
