Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Kouidri, for your report on this amazing woman, Maria Barile, who, as you mentioned, died in 2013. It's so unfortunate because her life was not without many struggles. You talk about this in your report.
I thought it would be good for this committee to hear about how especially difficult it was when she first came to Canada. Maybe you could talk about the terrible attack she suffered when she was quite young and how this impacted her life.
