Just so the committee knows, we've had a bit of a discussion about this off-line. We'll obviously be keeping members of the committee apprised of that.
Until we know otherwise, though, we'll assume that we will have both witnesses on Thursday.
Today our guest is Victor Armony, who is a professor in the department of sociology and is director of the Observatory of the Americas at the Montreal Institute of International Studies.
Dr. Armony, welcome. Please begin your testimony.
