Given that it's 3:30 and much later in Mozambique, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and our study of women, peace, and security, I thought it would be appropriate if we started with Valerie Percival. She is an assistant professor of international affairs with the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University, and she's in Maputo, Mozambique. I don't know what time it is there but I think it's very late.
I thought we would let Valerie go first, and then, Yanar, you'll go second. Then we'll get into questions by the committee.
Welcome to both of you. Let me start by turning the floor over to Valerie for her comments.
