Colleagues, we're going to continue.
We have a number of new witnesses with us, both online and in person.
I would like to welcome, appearing as individuals, Colin Bennett, professor emeritus and associate fellow, department of political science, Centre for Global Studies at the University of Victoria, who is joining us online; Gerald Chipeur, a King's Court lawyer; Michael Pal, professor, faculty of law, from the University of Ottawa; and, from the Indo-Caribbean Canadian Association, Alim Lila, vice-chair, and Ayesha Khan, management board member.
To the witnesses from the Indo-Caribbean Canadian Association, if you can hear me, we can't see you, so please make sure that you turn your video on as soon as possible. Thanks very much.
Each witness will have five minutes. The Indo-Caribbean Canadian Association will have five minutes between the two of you.
With that, Mr. Bennett, I'm going to start with you. Please make sure that you're unmuted and that you have your microphone kind of midway between your nose and your mouth. The five-minute clock will begin now.
