Order.
Good morning, committee, and welcome back. This is the 38th meeting of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. It is Thursday, November 5, 2009. Today we are going to continue our study on the treatment of Canadians abroad by the Government of Canada.
From Amnesty International we have Alex Neve, the secretary general. Welcome back.
From the University of Montreal we have Stéphane Beaulac, professor of international law.
Appearing as individuals are Raoul Boulakia, lawyer, and Paul Champ, lawyer, with Champ and Associates. We look forward to your comments.
Before we begin, I believe Madame Lalonde has a point of order or something to say.
