I thank both witnesses for accepting the invitation of this committee. It is an area on which the committee is working and members had other witnesses before them a number of weeks ago. Hearing the witnesses' evidence is very helpful to the committee. I will ask Ms West a number of questions to get a broad summary of what I think are some of the crucial aspects that have been identified. In July 2016, her bureau was requested to conduct a review of domestic homicides for ten years, that is, from 2007 to 2016. Is that correct?
