Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our guests for being here today.
My first question is for Mr. Sauvé. Thank you for being here.
I know the Red Cross has obviously a great reputation around the world. You guys are always seen as an honest broker that can be trusted. I know that when I chaired foreign affairs, we talked about you guys getting into Syria with the Red Crescent. It was one of the few trusted NGOs on the ground that could actually get in there.
Let's bring it back home here. Talk to us about the size. You said you have thousands of people. More specifically, are those volunteers, and is the size of your operation more specific to certain provinces? Do you have an overall breakdown of what you have in terms of numbers of volunteers and/or organizations provincially, and how easy is that to transfer, based on what's happening on the ground?
