Welcome to all, and good evening.
I'd like to officially open meeting number three of the Special Committee on Violence Against Indigenous Women by asking for a minute of silence to honour the victims. We are coming up tomorrow on the anniversary of the École Polytechnique tragedy, so a minute of silence to honour the victims of violence against women would be in order. We'll do that now.
[A moment of silence observed]
Thank you.
To begin with, I'd like to welcome our witnesses today. From the Ontario Provincial Police, we have Susanne Decock, superintendent, aboriginal policing bureau; and from the National Aboriginal Circle Against Family Violence, we have Dr. Anita Olsen Harper and Carole Brazeau.
We're going to start with Superintendent Decock.
Welcome.
