Thank you.
I want to thank you for coming to our committee meeting today. I wish we had more time to really get into a full line of questioning. I'm sure other members had questions they wanted to ask, but we have another group coming. So I would say to members, you can save your questions for the next group of people.
Thank you. I appreciate it very much.
We'll give witnesses a moment to get away from the table, and we will call upon the Mennonite Central Committee to come to the table, Mr. William Janzen, director of the Ottawa office, and the War Resisters' Support Campaign, Mr. Phillip McDowell. Also Mr. Jeffry House, if he's here, can come to the table. He's here as an individual, not representing any particular group of people. I would ask him to come to the table as well.
We can get going in a moment, when you're ready.
Please come to the table, Ms. Gay Anne Broughton, program coordinator. I don't have your name here, but welcome.
Welcome to all of you.
I'm sure you know the drill we go through, Mr. Janzen, Mr. McDowell, and Mr. House. Welcome to the committee. You have approximately ten minutes to make some opening statements. If you could shorten it maybe to seven minutes or so, that would give our committee members a little bit more time to ask questions, because we have to get going on new business at 5 o'clock.
Go ahead, Mr. Janzen.
