I call the meeting back to order.
Welcome back to all members.
Welcome to our new witnesses.
I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of the new witnesses.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. When you are ready to speak, you can click on the microphone icon to activate your mike. However, once members are asking you questions, you can respond immediately. You don't have to wait for me to recognize you.
At the end of the time, I will intervene. I'm afraid I may have to interrupt sometimes to go on to the next member.
I remind you that all interventions by members and witnesses must be addressed to the chair.
Members and witnesses may speak in the official language of their choice. Interpretation services are available for this meeting. You have the choice at the bottom of your screen of either floor, English or French.
Please speak slowly and clearly.
When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
I would now like to go to our witnesses. We have with us, as an individual, Mr. Bill Chu, founder of Canadians for Reconciliation, and, also as an individual, Mr. Victor Ho, retired editor-in-chief for the Sing Tao Daily, B.C. edition.
Welcome.
Mr. Chu, please proceed with your five-minute opening remarks.
