Colleagues, we shall resume.
We're going to begin with our second panel, and an esteemed panel it is.
I want to welcome, from CANADEM, Paul LaRose-Edwards, who is the executive director.
From the Parliamentary Centre, we have Jean-Paul Ruszkowski, who is the president and CEO; and Maureen Boyd, who is the chair of the board of directors.
Thank you for being here.
You will be the last witnesses as we go forward with this study. Let me ask both groups to give 10 minutes of testimony, and then, as is our practice, we will open it up to the members.
Mr. Edwards, if I could get you to lead off, that would be fantastic.
