Colleagues, I call this meeting to order. This is our 35th meeting as the foreign affairs committee.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Thursday, April 14, 2016, and section 20 of the Freezing Assets of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act and our statutory review of the act today, before us as a witness is Kimberly Prost from the Hague in the Netherlands. I understand it's about 9 o'clock at night there, or somewhere in that neighbourhood.
Kimberly, welcome to the committee. The process will be, as I am sure it's been explained to you, that you'll get some time to make some opening comments. Take the time you need. After that, we'll go to questions for maybe 40 or 50 minutes. That'll give us plenty of time to reflect on your statements, and we'll go from there.
I'll turn the floor over to you. Welcome to the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development here in Canada.
