Good morning, everyone.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we'll continue with our briefing on the situation in Syria.
I want to welcome our friend on the line, our colleague Nadim Gemayel, member of Parliament from the National Assembly of the Lebanese Republic.
Sir, we certainly welcome you here today. We thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk to our committee.
As you know, this is a public meeting. We have been studying the situation in Syria. We most definitely look forward to your insight as to what has been happening in the region.
We'll give you the floor, and then we'll go around the table and have our colleagues ask some questions for the next 55 minutes or so.
Sir, welcome. I'm going to turn the floor over to you.
