We are short one witness, at this point. Hopefully, that witness arrives online in the interim. We will pause briefly and test their audio.
I would like to welcome our witness for the second hour.
From the Centre for International Governance Innovation, we have Mr. Wesley Wark, senior fellow.
Thank you for joining us today.
I'll now invite Mr. Wark to make an opening statement of up to five minutes.
Please go ahead, sir.
