I will call this meeting back to order.
I welcome our next panel of witnesses as we continue our study on elder abuse. Thank you, witnesses, for being here today.
I have just a couple of housekeeping items for witnesses.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. When you are ready to speak, you can click on the microphone icon to activate your mike. When you have finished speaking, please make sure that you go back on mute. All comments should be addressed through the chair.
Interpretation is available to you. At the bottom of your screen, please select the globe icon and select the language that you would like to listen to. You can speak in any language—English or French, no problem. When you're speaking, do speak slowly and clearly so that we don't have any problems with interpretation.
I'll remind you again that when you're not speaking, please be on mute.
Welcome to our witnesses for our second panel.
As an individual, we have Marie Beaulieu, who is a professor at the Université de Sherbrooke and holder of the research chair on mistreatment of older adults. We also have with us the Advocacy Centre for the Elderly, represented by Mr. Graham Webb, lawyer and executive director.
Both of you will have five minutes each. To help you along the way, I will keep time with cards showing one minute remaining and 30 seconds remaining.
We'll start with Madame Beaulieu.
