I'd like to call the meeting to order.
First of all, I want to state that our chair will be here, hopefully, in about half an hour. In the meantime, I'm Mario Silva, the vice-chair of the committee, and I want to welcome both witnesses here.
Just before we do that, I want to know if it is the will of the committee and if we can have some agreement.... We have an individual, Yessica Morales, who is visiting Canada. Maybe we could have Mr. Marston actually speak to the issue and then see if there is consensus within the committee.
Mr. Marston.
