Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank our witnesses for appearing before us today and for your testimonies. Over the past few weeks on this committee we have had the opportunity to hear from some very courageous victims. The study of this bill follows an important study that this committee did on the prevention of violence and the protection of women in Canada's immigration system. But we have heard some very compelling testimony from courageous victims.
So, Ms. Papp, I'd like to begin with you. I want to thank you very much for sharing your story with us today. I also want to applaud you for coming out with your story and ultimately working to make a difference in the lives of victims and potential victims of honour-based violence. You've had the opportunity to travel to the United Nations where you spoke on honour killings and how they differ from other forms of violence. Can you please elaborate on that for this committee?
