Thank you very much.
I believe you just wanted to put in a motion right now. We're not going to debate it or anything. She's just putting in a motion.
To our guests, to our witnesses, thank you for your patience. These things happen from time to time, these things called votes, so we appreciate your patience with that.
I want to introduce Mary Anne Roche, who is the vice-president of global initiatives and governance of the YMCA. I would also like to introduce Patricia Pelton, who is a member of the YMCA Canada world relationships committee.
Welcome, ladies, to both of you.
What we're going to do today is this. I believe you have an opening statement of around 10 minutes or so. We're going to get your opening statement and then what we're going to do is that we may start with one round of questioning. At 12:00 we're going to get someone on video conference. We'll continue, we'll get them to do their testimony, and then we'll just continue to go around the room there.
Why don't we get started with you young ladies with your opening testimony, then we'll start with questions?
Okay, thanks.
