Ms. Deschamps, I want to welcome you to our committee. I hope that you enjoy the important work we do here, and we're glad to have you with us. Welcome.
We don't have any witnesses today for a couple of reasons. One is that the clerk couldn't get any here today, with the short notice that she had, and is working on getting witnesses for Thursday.
I took the liberty of preparing a budget and a bit of a work plan. If the committee would like, we could go over these issues and get them done today so that we could hopefully start on Thursday with the witnesses. Is everyone comfortable with that?
The first issue on the table then would be the operational budget request for the study on human trafficking that we're going to be doing. If everyone could take a minute and go through that, you should have it in front of you.
Ms. Stronach.
