Good morning. Welcome to the committee members and to our two witnesses.
This is the 18th meeting of the Standing Committee on National Defence. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are continuing our study of the role of Canadian soldiers in international peace operations after 2011.
I want to thank our witnesses today.
We have, from the Pearson Peacekeeping Centre, Ms. Ann Livingstone. Merci. Bonjour. And from Paix Durable, we have Monsieur David Lord. We're very pleased that you're here. Thank you very much.
You'll each have five to seven minutes. I will start with Madame Livingstone, and then Mr. Lord.
You have the floor.
