Thank you very much, Chair.
I want to say thank you to both our witnesses, Ms. Murphy and Ms. Rottenberg, for your vulnerability and for your willingness to come to committee and share your stories, because I know that digging deep and digging in the past is sometimes hard to do. I want to thank you both for your bravery and courage in sharing your stories today.
Ms. Murphy, if I can start with you, I'm just wondering why a permanency family is so important for children and youth.
