I call this meeting back to order.
I'd like to welcome our second panel of witnesses for today. We have three groups represented here.
In person, from Breaking Barriers Together, we have Ms. Cheryl Jarvis, retired sergeant, Royal Canadian Mounted Police; and Janet Merlo, retired constable, Royal Canadian Mounted Police. With the Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers, we have Aviva Basman, president; and Kate Webster, co-chair of the advocacy committee.
With us by video conference we have from the File Hills First Nations Police Service, Mr. Dan Bellegarde, chair, board of police commissioners.
Welcome, everyone. Thank you for being with us today and helping us with our investigations.
We will start with up to a five-minute statement from each group.
We'll start with Breaking Barriers Together.
I believe Ms. Jarvis will start.
You have five minutes, please.
