Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for making time to meet with the committee.
Before I get to my questions, I'd like to set the record straight. The Conservative Party of Canada agreed to undertake this study on hate-motivated violence targeting the LGBTQ community and to give it the serious attention it warrants. We did so in the spirit of openness and compassion.
That is why it is so unfortunate today to hear the disinformation coming from my colleagues in other parties. This is not the first time since we've started the study that we've heard comments like that. Frankly, they are disturbing and inappropriate, especially since the Conservative Party of Canada and its members voted against conversion therapy. In fact, Mr. Poilievre himself appointed a member of the LGBTQ community as his deputy leader, Melissa Lantsman.
That said, Mr. Wisner, did I hear correctly that you received a death threat a month ago or less?
