Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the third meeting of the Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women.
Today we are very pleased to have our guest here, Lisa Hitch, from the Department of Justice. We're very anxious to hear from you. Thank you very much for being here tonight, after hours at that.
As you may know, you have 10 minutes for comments, and then we will ask some questions and have a bit of a back and forth, as per our prescribed formula, which we agreed on previously.
Again, thank you, and welcome. You may begin.
