We're going to begin.
Our witness from Denmark is available and we do have the connection with Mr. Bach, but we're having a problem with the connection with respect to Cambridge. We're still missing one of the three witnesses from Cambridge. We're going to begin with Mr. Bach as soon as we see him.
While we're waiting for that, I'll do a little piece of business.
Mr. Tilson and I talked yesterday, and at his suggestion, we're looking at the meeting on Thursday, November 8. As you probably know, the House won't be sitting on Friday, November 9. The small number of people who have to be here on Friday will not be coming at all. I don't know whether Thursday will have Friday timing. I don't think so; it will be a regular Thursday. However, the suggestion from Mr. Tilson is that we not meet that Thursday, which will give us a chance to take one meeting off. I think it's a good idea, but I wanted to check to make sure there was agreement generally in the room with his suggestion.
I'm hearing no argument.
It appears that we have all of our witnesses here now. We're going to begin with Mr. Bach, because it is quite late in Copenhagen.
We thank you for joining us. We'll give you about 10 minutes to make an opening statement. Then we will hear from the Aleph Policy Initiative and then from Nadia's Initiative.
Mr. Bach, welcome.
