Thank you, Chair, and welcome witnesses, and thank you for your contribution to this bill, a very important bill.
Obviously, polygamy is an affront to Canadian values. Personally, I was glad to hear that it's been illegal since 1890, but we all know that this is a shameful reality in our country, so I'm going to focus on you, Ms. Raza. Can you tell me in your own words how this bill will protect Canadian values and convey to these communities that such practices are not welcome here in Canada.
