Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) we will continue our study on the protection of children and youth in developing countries.
The reason I want to get started on time is that we have one more witness who will be hooked up momentarily for video conference. We do have some votes that are going to be coming up, so I want to get the witnesses on record and then maybe one quick round before we go for votes. Then we can come back again to have another round.
We will start with Dr. Singer, who is the chief executive officer of Grand Challenges Canada.
Then we'll move to Save the Children Canada with Patricia Erb, who is the president and chief executive officer. She will join us via video conference from Toronto along with Will Postma, vice-president of global partnerships.
Hopefully, by the time we've started with our testimony, our third witness will get hooked back into video conference.
Dr. Singer, the floor is yours and you have 10 minutes for your opening testimony.
