We are ready to begin. I have a reminder for committee members that we do have business that we need to take care of, beginning at 10:30, so we'll just have about 40 minutes.
We're very glad to have with us two witnesses today. Mr. Will Falk is from the University of Toronto, where he is a faculty member. He was a member of an expert panel called the Johnston expert panel, which studied adoption. He is going to share with us his experiences and some insight. We also have with us Peter Dudding, chief executive officer from the Child Welfare League of Canada.
Thank you very much for being here, gentlemen. Each of you has five to seven minutes for your presentations. If you could keep to the time limit, it would be appreciated.
We will begin with Mr. Dudding, please.
