We are resuming for our second hour of testimony on Canada's support for international democratic development.
We have two guests for this hour of testimony.
With us is the Honourable Ed Broadbent.
Welcome back to Parliament Hill. It's really an honour to have you testifying before our committee.
We also have with us Jacqueline O'Neill, member of the Woodrow Wilson Center.
I want to thank you, Ms. O'Neill, for joining us from Washington, D.C. That's wonderful. Maybe we will get you to begin, because even though it's not too great a distance, these video connections sometimes can conk out on us. Would you please begin your testimony.
