That's not up to us; we're in the hands of the press gallery.
Now we go back to the second hour of our study on the sanctions regime.
My apologies to our two witnesses, who are joining us via Zoom. We're very grateful to have with us Professor Michael Nesbitt from the University of Calgary, as well as Ms. Amanda Strayer, who is a supervising staff attorney with Human Rights First.
Thank you very much for joining us today. You will each be provided five minutes for your opening remarks, after which we will open it up to questions from the members.
Please keep your eyes on the screen. Once you're very close to the time limit with respect to your opening remarks or with respect to the questions that are asked of you from the various members, I will hold up a card, and that means you should be wrapping it up within 10 seconds. Please do pay attention to the monitor.
That having been said, Mr. Nesbitt, you will go first. You have five minutes for your opening remarks. The floor is now yours. Thank you.
