Let's bring this meeting to order. I know we are running a little late, so I apologize to the witnesses for our late arrival. We had a few votes to go through.
I want to officially start this meeting, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the study of the Canadian government's countries of focus for bilateral development assistance.
Before us this afternoon we have from Save the Children Canada, Marlen Mondaca. We have from the Micronutrient Initiative, Mark Fryars; and from Plan International Canada Inc., Caroline Riseboro. Welcome to the committee.
We'll just go by order as I read them, so Marlen, you're going to start. I give the floor to you.
