We will resume.
For the second hour, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted on Monday, October 3, 2022, the committee is resuming its study on the experience of women veterans.
I wish to inform the members of the committee that the connection tests were successfully completed.
Since we will be discussing our study on the experience of women veterans, it is appropriate to provide a trigger warning, especially in the presence of veterans. I therefore want to inform you that this meeting could be triggering to people who are here and to viewers. We therefore wish to inform you of that fact.
Allow me to greet our guests.
Our witnesses for the second hour are, from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Ms. Jennifer Ebert, assistant commissioner and commanding officer of B division, by video conference; Ms. DeAnna Hill, assistant commissioner, commanding officer of J division, by video conference; Ms. Nadine Huggins, chief human resources officer; and Ms. Joanne Rigon, executive director, executive liaison officer, national compensation services, human resources.
Nadine Huggins will present opening remarks on behalf of the RCMP.
Madame Huggins, you have five minutes for your opening statement. Please go ahead.
