I call this meeting to order.
Colleagues, there have been some disruptions, of which you are intimately aware.
I've asked two of the panellists to return at another date and re-empanelled this panel, so that, instead of having two witnesses, we now have three. I particularly appreciate the patience of Madame Tam-Seto, Colonel Pucci and Madame Lafond.
Colleagues, as you know, if the bells start ringing, I have to suspend unless I have unanimous consent to continue. I'm not going to ask for unanimous consent now. I will be asking for unanimous consent when the bells start ringing. I'm hoping to at least get statements done, then go from there.
With that, I will ask Dr. Linna Tam-Seto, then Myriam Lafond, then Colonel Pucci to give their opening five-minute statements.
Again, thank you for your patience, and I look forward to what you have to say.
