I would like to resume today's committee meeting.
Welcome to all of our panellists.
We are resuming our study regarding intimate partner and domestic violence.
Joining us for our second panel we have, as an individual, Sherilyn Bell, psychologist. From the Canadian Research Institute for the Advancement of Women, we have Jane Stinson, research associate. From the Canadian Women's Foundation, we have Karen Campbell, director of community initiatives and policy.
To start today's meeting, we'll be providing each of you with five minutes to provide your opening remarks, and then we'll be going on to our round of questions from our MPs.
I will pass the floor over to Sherilyn.
Sherilyn, you have five minutes.
