Colleagues, welcome to meeting number 11 of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the Committee on October 22, 2020, we are resuming our study on the vulnerabilities created and exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
To ensure an orderly meeting, as always, I encourage all participants to unmute their microphones when speaking and to address comments through the chair. When you have 30 seconds remaining in your questioning or speaking time, I will signal with this yellow piece of paper. Interpretation services are available through the globe icon at the bottom of your screens.
I would like to welcome our witnesses.
This afternoon, we have with us Rahul Singh, executive director of GlobalMedic, Alexis Gaiptman, executive director, and Ryan Duly, regional programme director, of Humanity and Inclusion Canada, as well as Zaid Al-Rawni, chief executive officer of Islamic Relief Canada.
We will start with Mr. Singh and GlobalMedic for five minutes of introductory remarks.
The floor is yours, sir.
