The Chair Conservative Dean Allison

Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the situation in Syria.

We'll get started with our witness. We have Nigel Fisher joining us today. He is the assistant secretary general, regional humanitarian coordinator for the Syria crisis, for the United Nations.

We have about half an hour, but I want to get in at least a full round of questions. We may go a little bit more than that just so we can get a full round in.

Mr. Fisher, welcome. Thanks for coming. We're glad to have you here today.

I'm going to turn it over to you, sir, for your opening comments. Then we'll go back and forth around the table for at least one full round of questions.
