Colleagues, we are going to resume this meeting.
We have four witnesses in the second round. Each will have five minutes to speak, so that's a maximum of 20 minutes we're about to head into, and then we'll go into our round of questioning. We'll see where we end up.
All witnesses appearing with us today are virtual. Hello to you from Ottawa.
They are Dr. Sara Bannerman, professor and Canada research chair in communication policy and governance at McMaster University; Dr. Jean-François Daoust, professor, school of applied politics, Université de Sherbrooke; Dr. Holly Ann Garnett, associate professor at the Royal Military College of Canada; and Ryan Campbell, who is a board member from Fair Vote Canada.
With that, Dr. Bannerman, we are going to turn to you first. You have the floor for up to five minutes.
If you don't mind, witnesses, I would really appreciate it if you could time yourselves; maybe pull out your phone and get the timer going. It is helpful. Otherwise, I'm going to be waving frantically to let you know that we are at time. If you have the ability to keep yourself in that five-minute window, it would be greatly appreciated.
Dr. Bannerman, it's over to you for five minutes.
