Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the defence committee and our continued conversation about Canada's contribution to international peacekeeping.
It's a real honour to have General Roméo Dallaire here to speak to us today. We couldn't have this conversation without you, and we're all thrilled that you're here. I understand that Dr. Whitman is on her way. She was held up at the airport, but she should be here. When she is, we'll give her the opportunity to speak.
Until then, General, the floor is yours to talk to us with your initial comments.
