Good afternoon, everyone.
I would like to thank the members of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights for this nice endorsement.
Thank you, James, for being almost entirely accurate in your description of who I am.
Before we continue, there are some new people here, so I'd ask that all in-person participants consult the written guidelines on the table before you. You've most likely seen them. The measures are there to help our translators, in particular, not have audio feedback, which can do damage, in their workplace environment. When you're there, stay a finger's distance from the mic, and don't slam the earpieces in outrage, whether feigned or otherwise.
Obviously, these are people whose jobs depend on their ability to translate and hear us properly, so let's think of them when we have our back-and-forth, which is sure to happen.
You'll notice the QR code on the card. It links to a short awareness video, if that wasn't clear enough.
With that, if the committee is in agreement, I will invite the clerk to proceed now with the very important election of the vice-chairs.
