Human Resources committee  I would like to give you my impressions in English because that is my mother tongue. It is English from England. Even for Canadians, I accept and understand that my own accent is very difficult at times. First of all, I'm going to speak to the document that explains my life situation, which has the same title, My Own Life Situation.

Human Resources committee  Chair, in a position like this, I'd like to inform the committee that my honorific is Dr. Courtneidge. Although I'm a Quaker and don't normally use my honorific title, it is probably more appropriate for the public record that it is known. Thank you.
