I would like to bring this meeting to order.
This is the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security. This is our eleventh meeting of this session, and we are continuing with our study on the Iacobucci and O'Connor reports.
We would like to welcome to our committee this morning the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group, Mr. Warren Allmand, spokesperson; British Columbia Civil Liberties Association, Shirley Heafey, board member; Canadian Arab Federation, James Kafieh, legal counsel; Amnesty International, Alex Neve, secretary general; and as an individual, Kerry Pither, human rights advocate and author.
I would like to welcome you all to the committee this morning. We look forward to what you have to share with us.
I understand you have decided that Alex will start, and then we're going to go down the row.
Please introduce yourself again; I may have mispronounced your name. Tell us a bit about yourself. We'll give you approximately ten minutes for a presentation. I'm not usually too strict on the time, if you're sharing something important with us.
Go ahead, sir.
