Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm taking plenty of notes. I would like to thank all of the witnesses for joining us today, especially Ms. Desharnais and Ms. Barry. We also heard a very insightful perspective on Vancouver from Ms. Lavoie. That said, my first questions will be for Ms. Marin.
We come from the same part of the country. In fact, your volunteer centre indirectly provides services in the village where I grew up, as well as at my elementary school, Saint-Vincent-Ferrier School. It's a region I know well.
We also got to know each other through community work. Hearing your testimony reminded me of the work I did in helping establish a food security working group in Brome–Missisquoi as part of my role.
