Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for being here today. After listening to your opening remarks, I thank you for your bravery and what you're still doing.
My first question is for both of you gentlemen. We know that Canada is seeing a drastic rise in extortion attempts, in particular targeting the South Asian community in Ontario, B.C., and Alberta. Can you explain to the committee the nature of these extortion attempts? Can you provide some examples of how these attempts play out and the tactics that are used to intimidate individuals in your communities?
