If we can have all the members back to the table, we'll get started.
To our guests, I want to welcome, from the International Republican Institute, Mark Green, who is the president. Glad to have you here.
As an individual, we have Bessma Momani, an associate professor, Balsillie School of International Affairs, University of Waterloo. Welcome to you as well.
We'll start with your opening testimony, Mr. Green, then we'll go to Dr. Momani, and then we'll go around the room and ask questions for the remainder of the hour.
Mr. Green, I'll turn it over to you, sir.
