Colleagues, we'll bring this meeting to order, pursuant to the order of reference of Thursday, April 14, 2016, and section 20 of the Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act, a statutory review of this act.
This afternoon we're going to hear from two witnesses: one in person and one via video. I'd like to introduce the two individuals. The first is Andrea Charron, assistant professor, University of Manitoba, and director of the Centre for Security, Intelligence and Defence Studies at Carleton University. Welcome to you. By videoconference, we have the honourable Sue Eckert, adjunct senior fellow, Center for a New American Security. Welcome to you as well.
I assume we'll start with Madame Charron. We'll do the two presentations in a row and then we'll go to questions.
