Thank you. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been for you to share some of your personal experiences.
Because we've wrapped up the opening statements, I want to thank all of you, once again, for your courage in bringing your personal experiences to us. I know that it will be incredibly valuable to this committee in the work we're doing.
Thank you for being willing to share your experiences and having the courage to do so.
We're now going to move to the first round of questions. For the benefit of our witnesses, these are pre-arranged and predetermined rounds of questioning.
We'll begin with Ms. Blaney.
