Thank you very much, Mr. Nickel. To your point about wanting to speak to the community hub aspect, we find that most of the information that is transferred to us comes out during the question and answer process. Community hub is a suggestion that has been made, not only by the task force but by many other presenters, and I'm sure that some of our committee members will gladly ask you to expound upon that.
Ms. Kennedy, I don't think you were in the audience when we had our first session this morning. Just to briefly go over the process, it's quite simple. We're going to ask you to give a brief opening statement of five minutes or less. If you are starting to go beyond five minutes, I will unfortunately have to interject and get you to wrap up quickly. As I mentioned to Mr. Nickel, we find that most of the information comes out during the question and answer process. Following your five-minute opening statement, we'll have a round of questions and answers from all of our committee members, and hopefully then your testimony, whatever it is you have to say. We will get it on the public record, and it will allow us to put that into our final report.
Ms. Kennedy, with that brief introduction, we welcome you here today. We ask you to please give your five-minute statement. The floor is yours.
