Good afternoon everyone. Pursuant to the order of reference of Friday, October 25, 2013, we are resuming our consideration of Bill C-6, An Act to implement the Convention on Cluster Munitions.
I want to welcome our witnesses and introduce first those who are here with us at the House of Commons. From Handicap International Canada, we have Marc Drolet, the executive director. Welcome Marc, I'm glad to have you here today. Then we have Jérôme Bobin, the manager of communications and mobilization. Welcome, sir, to you as well.
Then, joining us via video conference from Geneva, Switzerland, we have Amélie Chayer, a policy analyst with the Cluster Munition Coalition. Welcome Ms. Chayer. I think you're six hours ahead, so you're well into the evening. You're at almost 10 o'clock, so thank you very much for joining us.
Why don't we start here, with Handicap International? Then we'll turn it over to Ms. Chayer. We will then go back and forth across the room asking questions and probably get in a couple of rounds.
So over to Handicap International for your opening statement.
