I now want to welcome our witnesses. Today we're going to be changing up our format a bit. We're doing it live, so we will be working through it together.
I would like to welcome Diane Redsky, executive director, Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre Incorporated; Debbra Greig, clinical social worker, mental health services provider, Yukon Aboriginal Women’s Council; Ninu Kang, executive director, Ending Violence Association of British Columbia; and Leslie Varley, executive director, British Columbia Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres. They are part of the Ending Violence Association of British Columbia and the British Columbia Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres.
I would like to thank all of the witnesses today. Each of you will be provided five minutes, and I have my little card here, which will show you when you have one minute remaining. With our new format, we will be able to be a little more flexible, for up to maybe 15 to 20 seconds, but we want to make sure that we have many opportunities for questions.
Diane, you have five minutes. The floor is yours.
