I will call our meeting to order and begin with apologies to our witnesses who are here to help us with our study on occupational stress injuries and PTSD in public safety officers.
We welcome Lori MacDonald and Michael DeJong, who have come from the Department of Public Safety, as well as Ruth Lanius, who is here from Western University.
I'm going to start with Dr. Lanius by video conference, followed by Ms. MacDonald and Mr. DeJong.
Dr. Lanius, please go ahead for 10 minutes.
