I most certainly am. Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here today. It is a difficult study, but we appreciate your contributions.
I wanted to talk more about some of the content that was mentioned earlier. I'm going to direct my first batch of questions to Ms. Skye and Ms. Smiley, if I could. I'll let you two decide who would like to go first.
A lot of the conversation that both of you mentioned was in regard to the universal basic income or guaranteed income or whatever you want to call it. To my knowledge, the only country in the world to have that is Iran and that's paid for through subsidies and sales of oil and gas.
Have either of you looked at other potential solutions, such as economic activity and opportunity in some of these communities, rather than a direct payment?
