Welcome back, everyone.
I'd like to make a few comments for the benefit of our new witnesses.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mic and please mute yourself when you are not speaking.
For interpretation for those on Zoom, you have a choice at the bottom of your screen of floor, English or French. For those in the room, you can use the earpiece and select the desired channel.
It's now my pleasure to welcome from Aurora College, Pippa Seccombe-Hett, vice-president of research, who's here by video conference. From SmartICE, we have Dr. Katherine Wilson, director of knowledge co-production.
Up to five minutes will be given for opening remarks, after which we will proceed with rounds of questions.
Ms. Seccombe-Hett, I invite you to make an opening statement of up to five minutes.
