Friends and colleagues, we have a busy hour. Let's get started, please.
We have four different witnesses in this hour. It's always a bit fun when we try to do that, so let's do our best to get down to work, please.
We have Alison Loat, the executive director of Samara; from the Institute for Research on Public Policy, Graham Fox; Nathalie Des Rosiers, a member of the board from the Faculty of Law, civil law, at the University of Ottawa; and Taylor Gunn from Civix.
I'll start from my right and work left. If you have an opening statement, please try to make it as short as you can. I'll likely flag you down somewhere near the five-minute mark if you haven't stopped by then.
Ms. Loat, would you like to go first, please?
