Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My sincere thanks to all the witnesses. We need them at this subcommittee. Their testimony has been quite exceptional and has touched us all.
I would also like to thank the employees of the House of Commons for helping us do this work today.
I want to thank all my hon. colleagues who decided to come together and do this work. We must now ensure that this subcommittee can make an impact, beyond mere earnest talk and fine words.
I was not here in 2018. I imagine that the situation has changed, but as parliamentarians, we have a duty to propose something tangible and to be able to call things as they are. I am very happy to be with you today, and I hope that we will all truly achieve this goal together.
First and foremost, Ms. Mahmut, I would like to ask you a question.
We are talking about impact, as I just mentioned. What response do you expect from the Canadian government, right away in the short term?
