Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank Mr. Khan for being here. I'm glad you are supported by two Canadians of great stature. I hope you feel supported and not surrounded, which would be a good thing.
As a preacher, I have probably quoted Elie Wiesel more than any other author. He wrote, “They are committing the greatest indignity human beings can inflict on one another: telling people who have suffered excruciating pain and loss that their pain and loss were illusions.” I'm looking at Ukraine.
Canada has indeed added additional support to the court, guarding the independence of the court. It is very critical that, when we add funding to the court, you make the decisions about where the money goes. We do not make that.
You know, however, that Canada has a concern about sexual and gender-based violence in conflict. I'm wondering if you can talk a little bit about the evidence that you are trying to collect, where we have evidence that there are war crimes being committed.
