Thank you very much, and thank you to all of our witnesses.
I will also thank all of you. You were originally scheduled to speak before this committee a few weeks ago, and it was cancelled. Particularly for Master Corporal Wojcichowsky, she had flown from Alberta to Ottawa and then found out the meeting was cancelled. I know it was very difficult for all of you to make the time to come back. We appreciate that you did that and that we're able to have you share your experiences and your expertise and your knowledge with us today. Thank you for that.
I'm going to move to our first round of questioning.
For the witnesses, that consists of six minutes for each party. There will be six minutes for the Conservative Party, then the Liberal Party, then the Bloc Québécois and then the New Democratic Party.
After that first round of questioning, if we feel it's necessary, I may take a small pause and suspend the meeting briefly for the sake of our witnesses. Then, we'll move to our second round of questioning.
We'll start with our first round.
As I mentioned, there will be six minutes per party. The first round goes to the Conservative Party for six minutes, and that will be Mrs. Cathay Wagantall.
