Thank you very much, Mr. Clerk.
Just before I introduce our witnesses, I'll go over some housekeeping rules.
Please take note of the interpretation bar at the bottom of your Zoom screen and select the language you'd like to listen to. You can speak in the language you choose, English or French. When you are not speaking, ensure that you are on mute; and when you are speaking, please wait to be recognized by the chair. Ensure that you speak slowly and clearly so that we don't have any interpretation issues throughout this process. I have a one-minute card and a 30-second card to help you keep time.
With that, I'll introduce our witnesses.
For the second panel, we have the Council to Reduce Elder Abuse, represented by Sherry Baker, who is the executive director of the B.C. Association of Community Response Networks. We also have Seniors First B.C., represented by Marie-Noël Campbell, executive director and lawyer; and Eric B. Clavier, lawyer and president, board of directors. Lastly, we have Statistics Canada, represented by Jeff Latimer, the director general of health, justice, diversity and populations; and Kathy AuCoin, the chief of the analysis program at the Canadian Centre for Justice and Community Safety Statistics.
Welcome to each and every one of you.
We'll start with the Council to Reduce Elder Abuse. Please go ahead. You have five minutes.
